Well that last comment is obviously not correct. The Aged feels soft from the start and sags almost immediately and after a fairly short while requires lacing, while even in his reviews many of the other models have leather that is described as "hard." I've not seen one, but I would expect the "Select" models to take as long to break in as the Team Pro models of 30 years ago. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
