I'd say stick with the B68- it's comfortable for you! Yes definitely get the non-"S" version- you will be able to slide it further back by about an INCH!
And at 110 pounds I'd say you probably don't really 'need' springs- you'd be introducing yet another variable into the delicate mix of having a comfy saddle.
So I vote for a B68 (non-S model). You will LOVE the added fore/aft range you get with it. I keep both of mine set all the way back....SO comfy and well balanced feeling for me!

Thanks, guys. I think I already knew it would be smart to stay with the wider saddles but it was nice to get that affirmed. I'm actually thinking I will probably stick with what I have right now since it's not bothering me at all. Just seems to me that it would be better if I was sitting more centered rather than so far back on the saddle. However, I use the bike mostly for short trips around town and so far have not ridden more than about 25 kilometers at a time on it. I am gradually building up longer rides each week so I guess I'll wait until I'm regularly riding longer distances before making any decision at all.
Concerning springs, I know I don't need them but anything that would help smooth out rough patches (can't really avoid the cobblestones) would be very helpful. Again, I'll wait a few more months before deciding if I really want to spend the money to buy something different. If so, I can decide whether to stick with the B68 or go with a B67.
Thanks again.
Sue
