That was the part I didn't expect: the cachet of the dented and worn leather saddle.

Even my beloved B67 with springs gets respect from folks who know bikes. Leather doesn't lie. If your leather saddle is broken-in and showing wear, then clearly that puppy is being ridden.

(my oldest Brooks B67 is only 5 years old. By the time it's 30 years old like Biciclista's B66, why that saddle will look REALLY cool!)
