Thanks for your remarks (and thanks for fixing my tags )

Is this the saddle you're using?

And if so (or nearly so), is your complaint that it is too wide in the area around the letters "zi"?

The limited length of the flat part of the rails, where the seat post attaches, is a common complaint about Brooks saddles. I'm rather puzzled that they haven't solved that. The reason they haven't, to be fair, is that this would require the rails to be wider; and this, in turn, would interfere with the skirt of the saddle; so they would have to make the whole thing wider, which would lead to your complaint about the Aliante. The solution might include a redesign of the seat post.

People also complain about the weight, of course. A Brooks saddle has a lot of steel in it.
