Like most things Berthoud, at $250 (more if you like cork finish) it is not
cheap. I have had execellent success the past 2 years on Selle Anatomicas. I
got 2 from RBW when they were about $159. I see them now at $136 online
(Outside Outfitters) and close to that elsewhere. As per Grant's original write
up, they quickly go to full adjustment, but then they stay there a long time. I
have 2 slotted styles and one without a slot (which I actually prefer). Don't
know if Berthoud does this, but Selle will re-skin a worn out saddle for $75.
Time will tell how well Berthouds stand up to use.
Brooks of course is still a reasonable choice at $95 (Nashbar, mabe less
elsewhere for a B17) but I am not a lover of the break in period.

Subject: [RBW] Re: Berthoud Saddle Review
Another one to say "thanks" for the review. Looked at them when they
first showed up. Unfortunately, am probably too heavy (230) for the
saddle. As well as wanting something a little wider. Oh well.
They do look beautiful. Especially the "cork" version. Have held
that one in my hands. My non-professional opinion is of very high
quality.
