I should mention, I’m normally a leather saddle guy. I have a variety of Brooks and Berthoud saddles; one Brooks being about 15 years old and has a distinct broken-in sag to it, but the saddle itself is still “level”.The saddle on my Gus is a Cambium, which may factor into it. It’s not my first

I was a big doubter of Brooks saddles in general & the nose up thing in particular. But, after fitting a B17 I quite liked it. Except I kept sliding forward - and onto the narrow, uncomfortable part of the saddle. So I started adjusting it nose up in very small increments. I think I have it at

I think the idea is that brooks have a bit of a "banana sway" and also a bit of where you actually *sit* on the saddle. The further back you sit and the wider, the further back on the "banana" so the higher the now. ie vs a aggressive geometry drop bar bike you would likely sit closer to center
