What is your riding position? Reason I ask is that I ride a Brooks on my trekking bike and love it. It is tilted up a bit but I ride that bike in much more of an upright position. When I was searching for the perfect saddle for my road bike I swapped the brooks to give it a try. Sit bones were comfy but the lower riding position was miserable. If I tilted the seat down I slid off, tilted back was to much presssure. I just could not make it work for a road riding position. Still my favorite for the trekking bike though.
