I love the leather saddles. I have both Brooks and Wrights. My all around preference on the Brooks is the Champion Flyer. It is the B17 with springs I am 6'-2" and weigh around 190# to me it has been the perfect saddle. I use in on my MTB, touring bike and folder. I also have one on order for my Redline 9.2.5, It provides some extra cushioning on rough roads, but doesn't absorb pedalling motion like some of the softer suspension saddles do. The Wright is currently on hold for my soon to be built up club racer. It has been on a coast to coast tour, my old road bike, and my MTB. I sold the bikes but kept the saddle
