I ride a B68 on all of my road bikes. Yes, jezbael's bike shop guy, that is a B68 on a road bike. Like sarahspins, I have wide sit bones and not only are the other Brooks saddles too narrow so are most "modern" saddles....well, except for the tractor saddles that have 3" of padding and become uncomfortable in the first three miles. You think a B68 looks odd on a road bike, try seeing one of those tractor saddles!

The B68 (and it cousin, the B67) are targeted for upright riding. As such, they have a rather abrupt transition from the saddle top over the edge (whereas the B17 is more rounded as it transitions over the edge). But, you know, the beauty of leather is that after you ride it a while, it forms your style and the sharper transition of the B68 goes away. Yes, initially, I had some abrasions at the edge transition, but after the leather relaxed, the saddle works just fine for a road bike.

That said, the B67 is much wider than you will probably need (dark brown, eh?). In the end, though, saddles are second only to chamois choice in getting quite up close and personal. And anyone's recommendation except your own butt is probably wrong.
