John, Thanks! That Vars is only 20 miles old! It's still a baby. Just getting used to the Berthoud feel.
I had my Brooks B17 titanium snap on me the other day. I've been a Brooks guy my entire cycling career. (modulo a couple Selle Italia Turbo years in the 80s) That saddle failure shook me though. I have had doubts about Brooks quality for the past few years (decade I guess), but now I feel like it's time to make the switch. The leather bar tape is 10 years old now. It's held up pretty well I guess. It's a Velo Orange no longer available item.
