Cause it's expensive as fuck, trade cost as much as the Brooks does in retail.
I loved mine, really comfortable, for the first 10 minutes I thought I have less pressure in the tyres only to realised it's the saddle that was giving.
Only nag is that it's missing the cut out that I enjoyed from the Selle Anatomica saddle.
Moment I lend it to a friend, Brooks announced a cut-out version that's coming out;
I opened the box of the C17 and my boss says "very nice, why didn't you get a C15 though?"
Cue me replying "fuck"
Initial reports after 2 miles on it is that the C17 is a great saddle, very comfy and I don't even feel the need for a cutout. The grippyness is great too, I really hated my last Brooks because of how slippy it was. I usually ride 135mm saddles so anything too wide means my legs pull me off the front of it, so need to give it a proper test but may have to sell it and wait for the C15 to come out.
