>>1487825Leather is a meme and even in 1896 it had known problems. Synthetics like we have now didn't exist and can be combined with springs for maximum comf. Fito and Velo have different taiwan made sprung saddles that are nice, and brooks makes sprung ones if you need your hipster leather.
Also frame suspension is a meme, springer fork is superior because the suspension is at the wheel and not above it. Suspension seatpost is not as good either but saves weight vs sus frame.
