I use a Brooks Team Pro on my track bike and I'm looking for something equally as classy and comfortable for a racing bike I'm building up. I'd buy another Brooks but the models I'm looking at (anything lighter than a Team Pro) exceed my $100ish spending limit. So right now I'm looking at the Sella San Marco Regal Ti and the Rolls Ti.

I'm pretty sure they're real leather and they're fairly light - both big plusses. My question is, are these just fabric lined plastic shells? I want something that will break in and get better with age, not crack in a crash. Any info or other suggestions would be nice.
