I second this.

I am still riding on a small rivet Pro I bought in 1974. It is soft as butter yet still a very nice firm ride, and also looks great. Amazing product, really.

I bought a Swift Ti a couple of years back in an attempt to save, oh, about 8 ounces. Not my cup of tea and I've recently sold it to a fellow list member.

i am thinking of trying one of the new Team Pro Ti saddles, just recently released. Anyone know if Brooks is back to its traditional standards in butt leather?
