I have considered this and am still weighing it up. Brooks vs Berthoud.
I suspect I'll end up going brown Berthoud, but wouldn't mind hearing from anyone that's had both.
PeteJChurchill-
Berthoud is A LOT firmer than a Brooks in my experience. The Aspin also feels a bit narrower than the Brooks I had before.
The build quality on the Gilles is second to none as far as I'm aware. -
Brooks to see if you like a leather saddle at all, then when it's dead go for a Berthoud

Have you looked at Selle Anatomica ? I got a newfangled plastic one a while back and I think its very comfortable (Much better than B17s I've ridden in the past) also I think it would suit the aesthetic of this build.

Agree on the silver Campag, and I vote for brown. Maybe a nice Gilles Berthoud saddle if you're feeling fancy.
