Anyone have one? Thoughts? I am looking at a Model 1 and was wondering about the quality.

Thanks,

Thanks,

Dave H has a few i think. I seem to remember him liking them but not nearly as well as a brooks? PM him and ask.

I saw they had some on the special price table. 60-65 bucks so I thought I would give it a try.

so did you order one? I seem to remember his saying the leather was not as thick or stiff, That would make it more comfortable out of the box BUT, longevity may suffer? I mean I have well over 25,000 miles on my oldest brooks (b17-n) , when you get right down to it, the price per mile is pretty damned reasonable...lol

edit: looking at the website, I see they Cru Ti is a laminated saddle, they don't mention that for the other but I wonder if it is also. I had some experience with a saddle from a masi a few years back that was laminated. It was IMPOSSIBLE to break in as the under side REFUSED to stretch or conform!

edit2: yeah...the model1 is a laminate
