Looks like the time for a new saddle has come. I always fancied a Brooks leather saddle, but they're "high maintenance" and hate getting wet. They now do one made of a combination of rubber and cotton... Nothing's ever easy!
I used to have a Brooks saddle back in the 70's, it looked great! I agree with Robbie though modern gel saddles are much more comfortable. It depends whether you want style or comfort.
Nice contrasty dark shot. Had put up with a brooks for about 20 years and found it to be a pain in the ass, for anything more than 40 miles. The rivets eventually came proud of the leather. Gel and I can ride all day.
