True, I should have been more precise. I don't think the width is the issue, though - at least, it isn't for me. I have a 150mm Swift on a road bike that suits me just fine. And, ironically enough, I'm one of those who gets on with the leather Brooks right out of the box - they start out OK and get better. The issue with the Cambium, for me, is that it just doesn't feel as forgiving, it's as if instead of settling underneath you it just keeps pushing back. Others may feel very differently, of course - we all know how personal a choice saddles are.
