The B17S ("S" stands for "short") has a very short nose. You might be a whole lot happier with a B17 if you feel the "short" is too short. I prefer a long nose, so I stay away from any of the "S" saddles. (for some reason, maybe because of skirts catching on the regular nose?, the "S" versions are considered women's saddles)
If you order the B17 from www.wallbike.com you will have 6 months to return it, no questions asked.
Are those YOUR sitbone dents on the saddle, or the previous owners? It took about 400-500 miles for me to put dents into my B67.
If you have any doubt about the width of the sadde, measure your sit bones before you order.
I have a B67 on my Surly Cross Check.
You would likely be able to sell the B17 Short here, cuz I'm pretty sure there are a couple members of the Brooks Cult who ride the B17 Short.
