I'm sure this will be anathema to many of you, so I'll preface it by saying I've had leather saddles on pretty much all my bikes since the 70's, have worn out three of them, including a '79 Brooks Pro and a '83 Fujita Pro, which I recently replaced with a B-17 because it got too broken in!

But...
I, for one, would be interested in a version of the B-17 in synthetic leather; something a little less precious, a little more weatherproof, and... well, something that doesn't break in! My B-17 was comfy from the day I got it, which was also true of the others... but as they softened up, they changed and became less comfortable.

I also wish Brooks (or anyone) would make replacement covers for the non-leather saddles that came on old English bikes. I have three old white saddles from ca. 1970 Raleighs, with indestructable steel frames and springs, and covers too worn and cracked to use. The covers are clearly removable and replaceable; but how does one get a replacement?
