Well, kayandallie's loss is my gain ... I bought her Pro S to replace the B-17S on my new mixte, and wow, is it a beauty. It's the same size as the B-17S but seems to have a touch more adjustability so I am hoping it will improve the fit. I'm still not sure I'm sold on the need for a shorter saddle for women, but I have the men's version of this saddle and it frankly looks ridiculous on the mixte -- it is huge and out of proportion to the size of the bike. It didn't work for me on my road bike (I need more setback than it allows me) so I have given it to my husband and ordered him to build a bike around it so he'll have one as cute as my mixte.
(What? It's as good a reason as any other to build a new bike. Someday remind me to tell you about the time I bought him a bunch of upgraded Shimano parts for his old road bike, and that led to a domino effect that resulted in two entirely new bikes, both of which are all Campy and apparently my fault for buying the Shimano stuff.)
