Since Christmas, I've gone thru (i.e. 'tested') a Team Pro S, a Flyer, a B67 and have finally 'settled' on a B68 Imperial. Of the 4 of these, and the 2 B17 saddles my husband has, the pebbled leather on the B67 and the B68 is definitely softer.

Thanks your experiences with the lacing Soprano, I was wondering what to expect! When Brooks came out with this saddle again a few years ago, they sent out a bunch of saddles for riders to test and review. I wish I could find that forum again, now that I own one of these, and the lacing often came up in the reviews. Does anyone remember where it is?

Regarding angle of saddle: I've been tilting the nose of the saddle up as well. I think it is because I'm a heavier rider, on a softer leather saddle. I don't like to have that much pressure on my hands, trying to keep the pressure off tender parts.

Thank you all for posting your experiences with the Brooks saddles! I think I've read (and used) every post and piece of advice.
