Gusti Leather Saddle?
Has anyone used a saddle by Gusti? Looks like a Brooks knock-off, but for $100 you get copper rivets and stuff. The stamp on the saddle actually says Gusti "Leder," so I wonder if it's actually a German company or something.

I *think* those are Dutch. Never used one so no input there.

Never used one either. Original shop is here:

Brooks uses vegetable-tanned leather for their tensioned leather saddles. In my view, it is the vegetable-tanned leather which gives the qualities associated with this style of saddle. |

Further website reading reveals the tanning process: 'Chrome tanning'.

I haven't tried their saddles, but I have bought bar tape from them. https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...2b785daa47.jpg |
