Before this thread get closed, can someone please answer why do you all chop up your Brooks saddles? Is it uncomfortable with all the extra "sidewall" material? Is it a weight issue? Is it aesthetics?

As to the off-topic portion of this thread. My wife does not eat meat, poultry, or pork but occasionally has fish, very rarely. For that reason, she refuses to call herself a vegetarian. I respect her for that, but also, I respect her for the discipline she has to forgo most meat products, wish I could.
