Thanks for the very thorough review. I'm tempted by the Cambium, primarily
by the ability to get the seat further back than on a B-17.

The Cambium will be my next saddle for sure. Depending on how it feels, it
could possibly replace my Professional. Generally being a B-17 guy, the Pro
sits on the fence. I'm sort of waiting to see one in person before finding
one.

Cambium development to report.
Brooks sent me an e-mail suggesting I apply to test a prototype cut out
version of the Cambium. I am happy with the regular Cambium nor have I
ever used any sort of cut out saddle. As such, I don't think I would be a
very good test subject.
It is good to see
I signed up, again, for the cut-out Cambium. I doubt I'll be chosen as I
did get to test the original. However I'm thinking it may be just a bit
'springier' (a high technical saddle term) and thus mimic a more broken in
leather saddle a wee bit better. That would sell me on using it full time

I have two now, one on my recreational road bike and one on my commuter.
I set up and find the saddle feel closer to the Berthoud Aspin than the
B17. Angle slightly up as many do with the B17 not comfortable at all.
Flat as most recommend with the Berthoud it is a very comfortable saddle.
I had a C17 loaner out on my SimpleOne last month and wrote about it. It
feels pretty similar to a B17 to me.

Aloha,
I have one on my MTB, and actually paid Brooks for it! The feel isn't as
good as the Brooks leather ones that I have on two other bikes. The
material does give, and as such performs its duty as part of a sling type
saddle, but just not as much as leather in my view. I had to fine tune the
Good info, thank you Stewart
