    It's actually 177mm wide, - too narrow for my sit bones. And the non-S model is 170mm.

    The B68 as I said is 210mm wide and is the only saddle that actually fits my sit bones width-wise so I'm not riding literally on the saddle edges with my bones.
    Yeah, and that 6 month guarantee from Wallingford is a good thing too. I figured that easily having an almost 10 pound baby, not to mention a German heritage, guaranteed wide sit bones. I just HAD to try the B68 based on rave reviews. Well, apparently I don't have wide sit bones. That B68 I got felt like I was sitting in a hammock. But Lisa's old B17 s? Perfect! I regretted selling it, but it found a good TE home, and now I'm enjoying Xeney's B17 S. I'm sticking with it.

    Edit: As for the Imperial, wonder why the cutout on the S is so narrow? Almost looks pointless.
