    i might just make the brooks jump, we'll seeee. the only people i know that ride the jett, are the store employees, while all my friends swear by brooks.. and i know that i can get a brooks cheaper. so, I'll probably go with the B17s.

    i'm tempted by the imperial, but i havent really heard too much about it?

    The only problem with the "S" versions of the various saddles is that the nose is "short." If you control your bike with your thighs, you will REALLY miss the regular length nose. The "Short" saddles also have less fore-aft adjustment because the rails are shorter.

    i was worried about that too, but my TT is only 50 cm so its already in the short area, and i asked a couple friends about which they rode, and ALL of them ride the S version. and all are much bigger than i am, so i figure i'll probably be okay with it.

    I found the B17 to be too narrow and uncomfortable after 50-60 miles.
    have you measured your sit bones?
