I just got a Brooks B17 due to the great feedback I read right here on TE. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it since it was stiff as a board, so to speak, but that opinion faded quickly! So far I have put about 80 miles on it since I got about a week and a half ago, and I LOVE IT! My 'butt bones' were sore the first ride I took it on (22 miles), but my bottom quickly got used to it...also the soreness that felt like bruising without the marks was completely eliminated by this little guy! And the best part? The saddle forced me to sit on the bike with a perfect butt position for riding for many, many miles which I had trouble with with my previous Terry saddle.

Thumbs up for Brooks!!!
