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.
