i've got the gyes GS-17 (brooks B17 clone). had it about a year, with about 5K on it now. never tried a brooks, so cannot compare. this model is 28cm long, and 18cm wide for upright riding at same height as the bars. the gyes broke in after about 500km, nice and comfy now.

looks like you get a new one on ebay for $40 plus shipping.
