Apparently you have not been following the earlier discussions on the Cambium. Yes, mainstream saddles are frequently plastic. I and others interested in leather free alternatives to quality Brooks and Berthoud saddles have said and this and other bicycle forums that the plastic saddles all tend to be both be horribly uncomfortable and have a short life span. The Brooks Cambium - which is not plastic, by the way - gives hope there may be an alternative. I know many cyclists who avoid animal products (politically neutral enough for you?) that are looking forward to finally having a quality, leather free saddle that can provide lasting comfortable rides. Maybe the Cambium will not be that product. Maybe it will. I expect that Brooks hopes that it is. Global response to the Cambium appears to be quite good. Certainly getting a lot of press on line. A niche has in fact been touched.
