Selling my Brooks B17"S" saddle

[Nokomis]

Lisa - have you measured your sit bones? I'm trying to decide if this saddle could work for me, or if I really need to go w/ a B68. My home measurement was 150mm vs the shop measure, at 140mm. I believe the width on this saddle is 177? If you prefer to PM to discuss, that's fine.

How do you like the nose length on the S?

HI,
I can't seem to get a measurement of my sitbones that would be accurate in any meaningful way.
I can tell you that my hips are about 42", measured standing up and around the sitbone area. I have a definite pear shape.
The B17 "did" fit me comfortably, but I wanted that wee extra width of the B68 for added insurance.

As to nose length- I don't notice any difference for me in either the shorter "S" nose or the longer non-"S" nose on the brooks saddles. It seems to make no difference to me. The S models however do have shorter rails because of their shorter noses, which means they have less for/aft adjustability than the non-S rails. They can't get shoved quite as far back on the seat post.

That shor is purdy.
But it just wouldn't look right on my bike.

Zen - It'd look beautiful on that bike! Especially w/ cork or honey leather bar tape.

Lisa - I'll make a decision by Friday; don't wait on me if you find a buyer. If I knew it would work, I'd grab it right up!

Zen, I agree with Nokomis! It would be lovely!

Thanks everyone!
