I have one and really like it. It replaced my tried and true B67 saddle. I rode this saddle for two and a half years and while very comfortable I always felt as though I was falling off the nose. I rode a C model demo saddle for an entire weekend, about 60 miles before I made the decision to buy one. It is really comfortable out of the box. No need to worry about slipping off the nose as the fabric covering is outstanding. You also dont need to point the saddle nose skyward in order prevent sliding forward. The casting on the back of the saddle is outstanding for grabbing the bike and lifting over stuff. I ride alot of gravel/mud and I no longer need to worry about waterproofing the leather. I have a black one with about 100 miles on it now. Winter has really set in here in Md. and I just havent been able to get out and ride. I believe any shop that has them for sale should have a selection of demo saddles. Be sure they give you the mens version not womans. I couldnt really tell the difference.

Ekh.
