1. Brooks saddles start around $80, not $195.
2. The leather isn't soft, it's hard. That's the point.
3. Not all saddles have the large copper rivets. Some people have issues with the rivets, some don't.
4. Proofide is not applied weekly. Maybe yearly, or maybe that's even overkill. A tin costs about $10 and will last many years.
