Nice list
FWIW, Rivet makes my favorite leather saddles

No relationship (or too little data) with either Selle or Berthoud.

Anatomica H2 for me -- best bang in terms of comfort, weight, durability, and price.

Velo Orange
I have 3 VO saddles
They are heavy but comfy and durable I have broken 3 Brooks saddles in various ways They did replace them all I also have 2 Rivets I am pals with Deb Banks owner of Rivet But bang for buck VO wins Nice long rails, easy to break in And MUCH cheaper And have yet to break a VO after countless miles ( a rivet did pop out of one VO saddle but my shop guy replaced it) Weight is not important to me—durability and economy WIN |

Brooks B17 Sprinter ('1925 reissue'). Wonderful, beautiful anvil…er, saddle; one of the narrowest Brooksies. Fits and rides very well. Weight: 1 metric ton.
