I tried an "aged" B-67 and had to take it back to my LBS. Too soft. Might work for a light rider, but it felt like a saggy, broken down saddle under my heavy weight.
Totally agree with Grant on the Colt. I had one from my LBS. Tried to ride it for a few hundred miles. Never could get it comfortable. And my usual preference is a new(ish) Brooks. Sold it to some kid just to get rid of the thing.
