I have one of these on my Cube EAPC. Very happy with it. Relative bargain at £50 until Friday. Very smart looking in Honey.

Not unlike a B17 but the leather is 'engineered'. Rumour has it that Brookes's saddles haven't been the same since the pre-BSE leather ran out.
A lightly used B17 went on the bike my dad built for me in about 1966. Never a problem. It was common to see them 'collapsed' which I put down to people who knew no better not adjusting them.
One has to inure to any saddle. One of the worst I've had was one of those 'gel' things. Almost whatever you use, your weight is on the sit-bones and they just have to get used to it.
