New commuter/touring bike. Saddle advice needed!!!

[uforgot]

As usual, you ladies are AWESOME! Thanks especially for the very informative link. I tried to search TE for applicable postings but there was just too much information for me to sift through.

It seems I'm going to try a B66 or 67 since I aim to sit quite upright on the bike. It means I'll have to order another saddle but thats OK. Any advice anyone? I can't seem to figure out the differences between the B66 and B67...hrm.

I would try adjusting the saddle and using a level first before getting the B66 or B67. The B17 is comfortable for me, but the B68 (Another wider one) felt like I was sitting in a hammock. Others love it. Everyone is different. Maybe take a look at some of the bikes here with the Brooks on them to check placement. Here's mine.

Mimi and Lisa both have the Brooks. Look for their pics. Your lbs may be telling you that tipping the saddle up like that is normal for Brooks but if they are like mine, only one or two customers actually ride them, so they really don't know.
