Robert, I'm sorry but I've ridden Brooks saddles back in the 70's then stopped in the 80's and 90's then bought a Swift about 2 years ago and they DO break into your butt. Sure your butt has to do some of the breaking in, but the saddle does most of it, just like a pair of leather shoes. Haven't you noticed the dimples on your Brooks saddle caused by your sit bones? Todays modern racing saddle will never have those dimples because they never break in, they might wear out, but not break in-it's your butt that has to do all the breaking in. And its for those reasons that most tourist ride Brooks more then any other saddle combined.

Your response was a response that seemed ignorant; correct me if I'm wrong, but this has led me to believe you don't really own any Brooks and never have, because if you had owned a Brooks you would have known about the dimples.
