Which Brooks - B-17 or Team Pro??

Just to warn you, you might find out with that sizing problem that no Brooks is going to work for you. None of them have as much forward/aft adjustability as most other saddles do. I could not make a Brooks work on my Bianchi, period.

The saddle stork dropped off my beautiful black special large copper rivets b17...
and it was love at first sight.

BUT I could have that sizing prob ...(cries softly over coffee)

I just can't tell yet. After the conditioning phase, I put her on my pony, and its positioned all the way forward... but I cant tell if my sit bones are hitting or not..(still sliding around, even after conditioning, or just cant feel through my extra padding) I will have to wait and see and get her out of the barn a few more times before I decide...

I already have a short stem so that would be out of the question.
Perhaps much more yoga to lengthen my torso? Or a chiro to stretch me out? lol
Feel free to send prayers and good mojo my way..

Pixie,
When I first started riding, I got a very short stem and had my saddle all the way forward, all because I felt the reach was way too long.
I have found that the more miles i log on my bike, the more my core muscles strengthened and stretched, and the more I felt I needed to extend my "cockpit".
Now, one year and about 4,000 miles later, I have a longer stem and my saddle is shoved all the way back... and I wish I could shove it an inch further back still.

Don't underestimate how much your body will strengthen and stretch as you ride more miles.

Wow! I am certainly going to do that.
Did you push yourself back to lengthen or just let it happen naturally when you clocked a lot of miles?

This is ground breaking news, and much much appreciated!
