As Sparrow said, many LBS's will let you exchange a saddle that doesn't work for you. But if you can't find one that will do that for you, check with Terry Precision Cycling online--they DO let you exchange saddles. Also, last time I checked, they did not charge shipping for exchanged items.

And ditto on the shorts and chamois butter.

Sparrow, I'm interested in your experience with your B-17. They are such cool-looking saddles, but I've always been scared off because they also look so hard. I know we don't want a soft, cushy saddle, but still those Brooks saddles are scary looking. So, did it take you long to break it in?
