I have the Brooks B17 but a friend in college removed the rivets and then soaked the saddle in neatsfoot oil and then re-riveted it to the frame. The stronger my butt muscles the more comfortable the saddle in my own experience.

I have added a Ergon mountain sport gel saddle to give a try on one of my road bikes. I found it interesting that included with the saddle is an adapter for clipping on the Topeak saddle bags. I like this approach as I can remove the saddle bag quickly and no need to leave it on the bike.
