Karl, that is a lovely, lovely bike indeed. We'll want to hear all about how it rides compared to your other bike(s).
meanwhile, I note with interest the striking similarity in appearance between the Brooks and Cardiff(/VO/whomever else, this saddle is made in one Taiwanese factory and marketed under more than one brand name) saddle. I have so far remained loyal to Brooks, both my Rivs and my Xtracycle have them and frankly my worker discount helps a lot here. But I would be interested in comparing various aspects of the ride on a Cardiff/VO saddle, including break-in time and longer-term comfort and durability under DAILY riding conditions. Anyone out there riding a non-Brooks a LOT, and liking it? Comparisons, please. Off to do roving mechanic duty at Portland Sunday Parkways today, on my Xtracycle fitted with tools, mini-repair stand (and, of course, coffee holder), atop my springy Brooks Flyer saddle.
