I agree on the point about the Swift. I mine was as soft as a child's knackerbag in no time. I sort of felt a bit cheated, in a way.
now my B17 - that took some real work, but that saddle has paid me back time and again. It's s supple, firm perch, and is incredible supporting. With good shorts, a B17 will be a friend for life.
James - don't sweat about your new Swallow. there are hundreds of them gracing noble steeds all over the country, from as far back as the fourties and fifties. With care and cautious tensioning that saddle will last longer than you will.
And probably experience a few more arses than you will, just.
Lolz.
