After reading all the positive comments on this forum, I finally ordered a Brooks B17 Standard. My initial idea was to install it on my future touring bike. Right now I put it on my road bike and I will go for a 1st test ride this afternoon. I don't know yet how it will feel, but one thing is certain: it looks beautiful :-)

What a beautiful saddle - and bike! May you and your Brooks have many happy miles - and glad to hear you got the regular B-17 rather than the "s" version.

Congratulations on your new saddle.
The Brooks experience is a very unique relationship. The presentation alone makes you feel like you're worth a million dollars. I think a gorgeous leather saddle ranks as high as a nice leather purse.
