The words Brooks and attractive in one sentence ? Never heard that before.
Brooks should be on old bone shakers, and not a Cube. Get the Spoon. They are great saddles.

The Cambium models at least look a bit more like a 'normal' road saddle
I've had various Spoons and they were all OK on my MTBs.I have a Cambium C17 on my Lynskey and really like it!

No experience of either saddle but the Cambium is beautiful and I looked at getting one a few years ago. IIRC it needs a more care when it's raining.

EDIT: I am incorrect about the Cambium as pointed out by @Baldy - thanks. Leaving original post there.

I'm a satisfied Brooks user. I don't find anything else comfortable for more than a few miles. Leather saddles adorn all my frequently ridden bikes and to me are things of beauty with a timeless elegance that plastic saddles just don't have

Brooks saddles are made from the skins of dead animals. A bit gross really.

Asking for advice on saddles is stupid, you moron. Go for the Brooks, you tart. Don't buy that foreign stuff.
Oh sorry - YOUR MOTHER!

So is most footwear which folk don't seem to have an issue with - !

The Cambium is vegan. Which means it tastes terrible and gives you wind.

Not the Cambium.
We eat the dead animals anyway so using there skin is showing respect to the animal by wasting as little as possible

I think the folk that are bothered by leather saddles are also bothered by other leather products tbh

As a big supporter of plant and vegetatable rights I find it abhorrent that cotton plants and rubber trees are being killed and maimed in this manner.

Not the Cambium ones they are made of an extremely hard plastic/synthetic rubber compound, too hard for me. It's the leather ones you have to be careful with.

Yes 'we'.As in most (normal)people.

Did you buy a Charge Spoon yet? I have one on an MTB in the garage but I don't get on with it
