Well, the Brooks Cambium C67 saddle sure isn't as pretty as my impossible to replace leather B68 Imperial. But I'll feel a lot better about having it near salt water on our two month camping trip to Florida this winter. And even though I cover it camping here in Ohio, it sometimes still gets damp. So back it will go on my road bike, where I swapped saddles when I first bought the Gazelle last summer. I'll ride it a bit, but I *might* try cutting the "Imperial" cutout into the saddle. I know people have done that with non-Imperial leather saddles. The C67 is the only Cambium that's not offered in a "carved" version.
I Mounted it on my recently purchased Redshift Endurace ShockStop Pro seat post, which is much more comfortable that the pogo stick spring thing that I took from Deb's Arroyo C5 when she needed her saddle lower. Thanks to the folks on here that steered me that direction. Riding on a rough gravel road during testing today, I discovered that my front suspension has been in the locked mode since I bough the bike!
I wish I'd noticed that a couple of months ago when I was riding 15 miles of root covered trail. This is my fist bike with any suspension, so I was not used to the features.
And for those who haven't seen them, I've included my MKS Ezy Superior "Pretzel" quick release pedals. Just twist the ring, push in the collar, and the entire pedal can be removed. It makes loading on the bike rack of the trailer much easier, and doesn't need for the cranks to be aligned to avoid rubbing on the other frame.
