ha.. i'm gonna ignore that.
i've got one of each.. a brooks and a selle anatomica. it's a pretty
nice saddle,
actually. the best thing about it is the waterproofing (they really
seemed to have
nailed that).
but it's pretty different than the brooks.. i had to adjust the tension
right out of the
box to dial it in (whereas on a brooks you basically don't touch that).
it was super
comfy right away in a way that no new brooks has ever been for me. that said,
i'm a little afraid that the reason for that has a lot to do with the
stretchiness of the
leather which may not bode well for its longevity. there was literally
no break in
and it truly is amazingly comfortable.
the price point is $155, which is on par w/ a brooks of the same range and the
workmanship is similiar -- a swallow it is not, but a team pro perhaps.
it's not
more expensive than a brooks, that's for sure.
