Though I like the appearance of suspended leather saddles and I do wish to keep my bikes as original as I can, I no longer bow down to the Brooks Butt God.

That old school technology does not, in my opinion, deliver the comfort expected. And I have ridden a lot of different suspended leather as well as more modern saddles. The newer saddles, in my mind, blow the old school leather butt purchases away. No saddle, from a comfort point of view for me, can come close to this saddle...


But good saddle or not, sooner or later it will and did give up the ghost. I spent many winters riding this saddle in Jamaica until one rail broke. Even then, I continued to ride the bike for the balance of my five month winter ride.



Sadly, after thousands of miles of use, it died a well used saddle's death. But lucky for me, another one came my way just a month or two ago when I got back to Canada...



.It is going back on the Cambio Rino, which is my present project...
