Aaron,
Give San Marco Concor a try, my choice for most of my bikes. The
Concor has been around for a long time and it works for many folks.

In fact, my favorite saddle is not a Brooks at all; it is a Selle San

Lance's choice! I ran one of them for a couple of seasons--it's pretty hard

hard with the bars several inches below the saddle...

I've seen the Berthoud saddles in the flesh (should that read leather)
and they look awful compared to the Brooks.
The back is plastic, the leather is mottled and the shape loots
malformed. They might be a dream to ride, but
just on looks a Brooks wins.
The Cork Berthoud saddles are tanned
That's my experience with B-17s. The only one that has been comfortable is
the one on the Sam with bar flats just under an inch higher than saddle;
though I ride a lot in the deepish Noodle drops. The only factor that makes
me anxious is the chafing of the, you guessed it, nose in the crotchal
On the Geared Hub Yahoo List, there was a recent saddle discussion. Someone
mentioned that the women's Team Pro-S has the same width as a B17, but a
shorter nose. I don't know if the top is as flat as a B17, but that sounds
like a real good compromise!

Thank you! After trying the Regal, someone gave me an old Concor (not

Having a U-shaped connector to the fork crown seems like an
improvement, but having the connector attach to the rack via P-clamps
seems less than optimal for solid attachment.

According to the Kogswell list, this kind of attachment seemed
correlated with shimmying problems. Check http://tinyurl.com/ybow223
