In our stable, we have one VO equivalent of the B67, and a Cardiff B17 equivalent. (I think they are made by the same company) These are both very nice saddles, the =B67 is on my wife's former road, now town, bike, and has had a fair number of miles put on it. Leather is a little lighter than on a Brooks, with a synthetic layer laminated to the under side. Very comfy right out of the box, but no real data on long term durability. (Our Riv's both have Brooks.)
Ideal saddles, NOs and used, are commanding insane prices. But you can get good deals on some of the other older brands. A NOS Wrights narrow recently went begging on flea-bray for $65 - I have a used one on my single speed, and it's every bit as nice as a Brooks. I've also seen Japanese versions of the B17 go for low prices. Nick W.
