If I get a free one, otherwise I will stick with my B15 and one less cake.

Call me an old traditionalist but ... a non-leather Brooks saddle - that ain't right.

I do kind of agree Andy, however I'm looking to get a super accacio and don't really like the traditional race saddles, also not many will have one and I like to be different, some may say weird but I'll go with different lol

It is a traditional race saddle, looks identical to the B15, just not leather. So longer than most contemporary saddles and just a tad wider. But hopefully a lot more comfortable on long rides.

I nearly dropped into the brooks factory today in between visiting patients with a view to blagging a look at the c15...i've signed up for a chance to get one of the first 100 giveaways...it seems to have favourable reviews and i like the non leather composition with added brooks comfort....sorry guys...i'm something of a traditionalist ..... But not leather traditional.

The Brooks rep showed me a prototype of the Cambium a few months back. It's typically beautifully made as well as good on the eye.
I expect they'll have trouble meeting demand.

The less racy B17 Cambium is £105 but not sure about the B15 as yet. I expect it would look good on most bikes but not sure about the weight as comfort and durability are the name of the game with a Brooks rather than lightness.
