Those look pretty nice. If I were in the market for one, though, I'd want a whole lot more information on the leather used.If they are like modern day Brooks saddles, why bother? And at 250 Euros, they better be using the the best 8-9 ounce leather available. And only from the top 1/3rd of the hide, near the spine.
Just my persnickety observation. :>
