First ride on my Brooks B17, ouch.

Ditto here. Now that Brooks has the even WIDER B68, I finally have a saddle wide enough for my sitbones!

I thought the B68 was the same dimensions as the B67/B66? Same saddle, no springs?

[mimitabby]

yeah, that's what i thought too.

Wallingford has dimensions for all listed at 210x260.

Luuuuuuuurve the Brooks B60 series...
(now,for my next Brooks do I stick with B67 which works peachy, or get a B68 cuz it's sexier?)

I would love to get the newer model for my new bike, but I have a nice antique brown B67 just sitting here waiting for me. And it matches the handlebar grips I am getting put on the bike.

Correct. I meant wider than my old B17S.

Well, Ellen (oxyback) ,and I rode 71 miles today ,and I've been commuting to work for 3 weeks now , no crotch pain. Of course my butt was a bit uncomfortable today ,but that's after being on the saddle for 6 hours...anyone's butt would be sore. I guess I found my saddle!!!!!

Excellent!!!!

Wow, 71 miles??? Way to go Suze!!!!!!

I agree- I think anyone's butt would be sore after 6 hours riding. Mine was a bit sore after 5 1/2 hours ride recently- but my legs were more sore than my butt- I guess that's a good sign.
