I'd be interested if others think it's worn out or just broken in. Maybe I'm just not a leather saddle guy. I see a lot of randonneurs with the Brooks cambium saddles.
Well, whatever kind of saddle guy you are now, you might be a different kind in the future. I would not change my saddle because some guy online is amazed at how the saddle has changed in your usage. If you have the option to replace the leather and you want a saddle that rides the way this did when new, why not replace the leather? You could jump to another saddle design or brand, but it might not do what you want it to, and then you're in the saddle soup, seeking satisfaction in different designs.
