That's a brand new saddle. It's the Brooks B-17 Champion special. Do a search of the forums on "brooks" and I think you will find that 98% of the posts rave about the brooks. People in the touring forum don't seem like they will ride anything else. I've only got about 150 miles on my saddle so it's not broke in yet. People tell me that it happens around the 500 mile mark. Even though it isn't broke in yet, I don't have any complaints about it. The brooks saddles can be a bit pricey, and you have to take care of them (mostly just don't ride them wet.) You won't have any problem buying one... they are all over the place and every LBS has heard of brooks.
