speaking of saddles

Donna, no reason you can't 'try' the B17 out. But just keep in mind that the B67-B68 will be substancially wider.
I rode a B17 for a year and a half. I was generally comfy, but always felt like my bones were on the edge at the sides. Fairly hard place with no 'give'. Sure enough, when i finally was able to observe the sitbone dents forming on my saddle, they were sort of half on the edge of the side- partly on the steel underframe.
When I got the B68 there was an immediate difference and I was right away more comfortable. Now I can see the new dents and they are just inside the edges- not over the frame part anymore. Another inch of width would be even BETTER....but I'm grateful for what i have now.
What's wrong with these stupid saddle manufacturers? Same thing with too-small bike shorts made for women with little pelvises. We need a company called Built For Comfort Women's Bike Gear!
