3. I see I'm not the only one to use a Brooks.

Is that a B17? I still have an ancient one on my MTB but the one on my road bike broke. I thought the leather would give out first but one rail broke where it bends up to the rear of the saddle. Pretty good for 20+ years. My butt misses that saddle. It was a perfect fit to my less than perfect butt. I put the OEM Cannondale saddle back on my road bike. After a little more than an hour in that saddle I have to take a rest from it. I've been wanting to get a B17 Imperial but I have spent so much money on bicycles this year that I can justify it.
