Also, I’ve always loved to ride off-road, where you tend to move around in the saddle, so I like padding everywhere. Still, I’m sure I won’t be able to resist buying a new Brooks for this bike! I just can’t imagine my usual WTB on there!

this old Brooks
It doesn't look like yours is that bad, but the holes in the leather around the rivets on the end of the cantle do look to be tearing a bit.
added: we have two saddles that have been redone by RHM and, like everybody else, we are more than satisfied with his work.
