I have seen recent posts where the mold was skipped. In my opinion it didn't get the shape the same.

@ all Vegetarians and Vegans who feel the need to bash those of us who use leather saddles:
Do you really think that you dont use animal byproducts EVERY SINGLE DAY of your life? There are byproducts in just about everything that is not made out of metal, this includes rubbers and plastics. Any clothing you wear is made at the expense of living creatures, do you think that cotton and hemp farmers aren't killing vermin who destroy their crops with pesticides and animal traps? Do you think the man made materials like nylon and spandex are made without sending toxins into the environments of animals, killing them off and ruining thier quality of life? If you think you go through life without contributing equally to the destruction of life on this planet then you live in a dream land.
Using animal Byproducts to make useful items is in fact MORE responsible then just letting those products go to waste. The Bushmen in africa, the Native Americans, the Aborigines of Austrailia and every other close to nature culture in human history has put animal biproducts to use since the dawn of time. GET OVER YOURSELVES or at least stop preaching to the rest of the world!

and a brooks swift on my '80 Mclean:
and, last year I spotted this B-15 on a thrift store schwinn continental, bought the bike for ~$16, sold the saddle for $40, and the bike + cheapo saddle for $35!

2009 Brooks B17 Copper Special "Chopped" aka "Swallow-ized" Saddle. IMHO, it looks hot as hell with the Masterpiece seatpost. It's just another level of elitism over the Elite version. And just like LH Thomson himself says, "The Thomson Masterpiece Seatpost is not for everyone. We at Thomson wanted to create the best seatpost possible without regard to cost. Over double the fatigue life of any other production models we tested. Every component of the Thomson seatpost is 100 percent American made. This includes all fasteners and forgings."
