Would it be worth it? Brooks question.

Hi Deb,
You can't lose much by trying to sell it. The honey colored ones tend to sell extra well.
When I went from a B27s to a 'men's' B17 (non-"s") it was WAY more comfortable because I could slide it about a whole inch further back, thus improving my center of gravity on the bike.

Why don't you order the new non-s from Wallingford, try it out, and if you really like THEN you can sell the other one?

I decided to take your advice. Otherwise I would always wonder if a non-s one would work better for me.

I'd be forever wondering too. Let us know how it turns out!

I have a l-o-n-g torso. If I scoot back at all to get more comfy during a ride, I'm right on the back frame. It is also noisier with the seatpost just under the nose, and I'm not about to get an unsprung saddle. I like this one too much! The new one is due to arrive on Monday. I'll let you know how it goes. Now that my sit bones have accustomed themselves to the Brooks, breaking in the new one should be a little easier this time around (she tells herself optimistically).

It was way easier with my second new Brooks. My sitbones were 'seasoned'

I'll be sorry to see this one go, but I really think I want that extra rail length. I'm loving the Brooks, though, and haven't had any soft tissue pain at all with this saddle. No more cutouts for this biker!

Way easier on my 2nd and 3rd Brooks, mainly because I knew exactly how to set the saddle angle right off the bat. Ooooh, love me my B67 and B68 saddles!

The B67 arrived today. I need to dig out the Proofide and get started. Deja vu.
