I've decided to take the plunge and buy a B17. I have no idea what saddle is on my Bianchi, it's some no-name brand. (I'm sure it has a name, but it's something like "ABC" or "XYZ"..) I've been somewhat in denial about the soreness from it, because, well, I didn't get sore on my old Bianchi, and it had one of those darned tough leather seats! Gosh darn it.

So it occured to me to research leather saddles. (well Duh) After reading this thread 3 or 4 times, I bought a B17 today. I'll report on it as soon as it gets here.

I sent an email to the company to ask a question. In the reply, the fellow mentioned I might look up a site called Team Estrogen, because their forum has informative discussions about saddles! From half-way around the world... what did we ever do without the internet, I ask ya.
