Thinking of buying a Brooks Swallow saddle for my Enigma. I can find 100s of good reviews but has anybody had any bad experiences.

Also the chrome is £130 while the Ti is £245 (RRP) - is the +£100 justified?

    Dont do it!

    Enigma are lovely. A great way to ruin one would be to fit that monstrosity of a saddle. And then fitting matching brown leather effect bar tape.

    Only good experience... it is a lovely lovely saddle. The extra 100 pounds save you around 100 grams, it's up to you to decide if it's worth it or not.
