Brooks Colt?
Not a lot out there on this saddle. Anyone ride one extensively? If so, will you post your thoughts?
I like the "classic" look and lines, but I'm wary of a product that was discontinued. Usually there are good reasons for discontinuing a product, especially at a place like Brooks which brags about having some lines in production for nearly a century.

Even Brooks doesn't know why it was discontinued?
The Colt was discontinued amidst mysterious circumstances a few years ago

I had one for a few years. Very thick leather and simply would not break in. I sold it and bought a Team Pro, which I love. The Colts were listed as mtb saddles. I had mine on a roadbike.

The colt is very similar to the Team Pro, but a bit shorter and has a bit more curve front to back. Both are thick and need a long break in. Brooks rereleased the Colt back in 2011.

If you get one, look forward to hearing your feedback.
