I've never tried a Brooks, and I don't think they're very attractive. Call me shallow, but I want my bike to look good. So if another saddle does it for me, I'm going with that one. I have the Specialized Avatar 155 and I'm very happy with it. However, go with what fits you - no matter how good your bike looks, you won't ride it unless it is comfortable!
Fugi Girl, I would never call you shallow, but beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. To some of us, the gorgeous warm leather look of a brooks saddle
is a joy to behold!
