UPDATE - About 500 miles now and I love it. Seems to be holding up well and has been comfortable from day 1.
I've only ridden a few miles for fit, but so far I like it. I'll update this once I have put some miles on.
I have been riding an Avocet Touring saddle (its 20+ yo and well over 15,000 miles). I have been looking to replace it for awhile now, but since Avocet is gone, I've not found a decent replacement. I've purchased a bunch of different saddles and returned them immediately. If it isn't as comfy as a beat up old relic, its just not comfy period and never will be. BTW, aside from a couple of short pieces of black electrical tape covering small slits, the Avocet still looks and feels pretty good. Sorry the company is gone.
This is the first saddle that seems to have a chance. A little stiffer, but basically comfy right out of the package. I won't throw the Avocet away just yet, but I expect this to be my new ride.
And hey, the price is right. Why pay $100+ for a piece of leather and some brass rivets?? 100 years without any R&D or change, someone if laughing all the way to the bank. Buy one and the expression "more money than....." comes to mind. Burns my rear what they charge for bike parts. Maybe if they were less expensive, more people would ride (or in my case, update/upgrade).
