I -hate- cambiums though.
They're stupid heavy and the material is abrasive and fucks up shorts.
The rivet look is cringe outside of sprung leather, some selle regals look good on extremely flashy bikes, otherwise, no.
It's still a crapshoot on whether you find them comfortable or not but if you want the $$ retrodouche saddle, I far prefer classic selle repros, turbo, concor, rolls, flite, regal, etc.
Actually it makes most sense to decide if you like the fit of those saddles when a used one comes your way, because you're quite likely to get one when you pickup any high end classic road bike. I personally prefer the fit and quite like the look of some subtler modern selle and fizik saddles on fast classic/classic-esque bikes. That's what I run.
If you do buy a $$ saddle just already accept in your mind that if it hurts your balls you will get rid of it.
and post bike.
