one more thing...

almost everyone I can remember who bought an "s" model exchanged it for the regular one. Me included. The Brooks have short rails and getting them back far enough is easier with the regular length.

Worth a try. You'll love it or hate it.

oh...and ANOTHER thing. If you do think you'll be returning it...you can get shipping credit depending on if the saddle looks new; they judge by the knicks on the rails more than anything.
