Some folks are claiming that Brooks quality control is not what it used to be. I am among those folks, but others argue that we are incorrect. I don't remember this sort of thing "back in the day" but of course we didn't have the internet back then either, so maybe it always happened and we just didn't hear about it.

At any rate, Brooks still seem to stand behind their product. If you are sure that it is the saddle itself then you can put in for a replacement and be fairly confident of satisfaction.

Hate to send it back: had it for 2 years already (plus there's postal cost) & not sure it actually is lopsided, seems more likely the model is just too wide or wrong shape for me but the problem only shows up on one side (leg). Should bought from Wallbike! If the butcher/lace and/or San Marco Regal don't work I guess Brook B17N is a reasonable choice.
