Subjective, f'sure, but for a show bike my own list for saddles better-looking than a garden-variety Brooks B17 would include Brook's own Team Pro, the Berthoud Aspin, the Ideale 90, the Sella Italia Epoca, the Selle Anatomica with the cast frame and Chicago screws, and perhaps even the Selle Monte Grappa 1975 Charleston
