finally got my new saddle yesterday, installed today!!!!
didn't smell like death , and support my weight fairly, got a little springgy action from the leather, thats good for me.
overall, not a bad seat, I rate it 6/10.

I got the same one last week. LOW price. I can't rate it that high. Way too much flex to the seat. My 215 pounds don't help. I will research this shoelace thing. The tag on the back was mounted sloppy.

Forgive my lack of bike terminology. There as an adjustment that allows the seat to pivot front to back. It doesn't work well. The seat keeps tipping forward. I'm about to tack weld the SOB.

The seat does look nice from a distance and it's cheap. Not Stinky.

i'm not a big guy, 147lbs at 5'7" height. the leather did flex a little, prolly more if i'm heavy. that flex makes the springgy action which i like, but i don't know if it will last.
i don't like poking holes to put the lace on the side. what i'm thinking is making a netting support under the leather, or if it gets really worn out, prolly make a metal plate to go under the leather, but i don't know if the rivets are re-usable. i'll do this when the leather sags too much, for now, i'm good with it.

Mrbill,
Using a micro adjust seatpost on one rail of a double rail saddle will probably lead to it snapping, you can buy a 'saddle sandwich' to clamp both rails with a micro adjust.
