Bike Setup: Basso Diamante, Campy Record group, Campy Eurus wheels, FSA SL-K compact crankset
Summary: I own two Regal saddles, both with steel rails and perforated. The build quality is exceptional and the saddle provides the right amount of support and coushining for my butt. After a while I forget I am sitting on it. Your mileage may vary. I have also used San Marco Rolls which is very similar to Regal, but the shape of Regal suits me better.
Strengths: Superb comfort and quality.
Totally pro and Euro way to go.
Perforated leahter looks great.
Weaknesses: For me none. Weight weenies will find it heavy. As one of the reviewers put it, it's not the weight of the saddle that's holding you back, dude.

Bike Setup: '02 Colnago Master, Campy Chorus/Record
Summary: I bought this saddle used on ebay about 4 years ago. It is a cross between an old retro saddle and new age (nickle rivets and ti rails). It is very well made, with smooth leather (the new models have textured leather). It's wide and long (150mmx220mm). It's very comfortable saddle. I have numerous saddles I have used over the past couple of years and I always come back to my Regal.
Strengths: This is a very durable saddle. Well tested with time and it will last for years.
Weaknesses: Because of the way it is constructed it might not work on all seatposts. The skirts on the side come all the way down and you might not be able to get it back far enough. If you have a seatpost with lot's of setback you will not have a problem. Saddles are a very personal thing and it might not work for everyone. It's probably works better for riders with wide sit bones. Set up is very crucial.

Bike Setup: Cro-mo frame, with disk brakes. There's a photo of it on bikechina.com
Summary: A very good saddle for touring, not too wide, not too narrow, good amount of padding without being spongey, and it has good support at the back which helps when climbing.
Strengths: It has worn well considering that I sit on it everyday and it is often in the rain and sun. It still looks new. I can see that I'll be getting years of use out of it.
Weaknesses: none except that I paid too much for it (which is usual in Japan)
