Hehe.
me too
yup, those bike stores in and around polygamist communities do a cracking business in womens bike seats.....
re leather Brooks shapes. I will try to take some photos of a couple of my B17s to show how they look after X km's on them. Essentially, with proper care (not left out in rain and ridden on, not putting on stupid amounts of that Proofide stuff, the Brooks leather treatment stuff) they will go years without sagging downwards, but the sitbone divet areas become accentuated, and perhaps with a slight bowing.
I think its fair to bring up that with any bike seat, leather or not, small positional changes, whether levelness or fore/aft position, can and do make all the difference to riding comfort.
Add in body shape, bike shorts, bike layout (bar height in relation to seat, bar reach from seat) and how much one rides to a certain extent....lots of factors also come into play, along with and beyond "X" or "Y" specific bike seat.
