What should you expect from this saddle?

Damn expensive isn't it?! http://www.theoldbicycleshowroom.co.uk/brooks-team-pro-vans-special-ltd-edition-saddle-2906-p.asp What will this offer that other saddles can't?

Not very much I would've thought.

Exactly. I am sure there are saddles about £260 cheaper that are just as comfortable, but the materials will not be as good, not the name. And there are people in this life that need a label on everything!

A pretty pattern embossed on your buttocks.

Well there's a used one currently being sold on eBay with a starting price of £100 .....so I guess it's not worth more than that to the person selling it! Must say though that 3 of my bicycles have Brooks saddles and I think they're great!

For the anal weight weenie it lightens your wallet by quite a few pounds.

Your link took me to Google Search so I'm not sure what you were asking about specifically. My saddles are all Standard B17 models - one being a Professional version extra bling factor. They take a few hundred miles to break in and become super comfy, but even from new I have found them to be great. I did 100 miles plus on one last month and no discomfort whatsoever.....

Perfect for an older style roadster.....but my oldest bicycle is a 1980's Falcon - so...........No!

Mine is like this......
