You might want to consider selling your B17 and buying a B68 or B67 instead. Just as appealing looking, but more comfortable.
I've got to admit I'm a little gun shy about buying another Brooks.
I feel so ridiculous. I got this one as a gift last x-mas. Now I have surruptitiously hide the fact I'm getting another saddle. I ride my bike to all family gatherings and make them let me put it inside their houses (yes I am THAT insane about my bikes) so this will be difficult.
I appreciate the suggestions on sizes. B68 or b67 hmmm. I should've asked 'em to get it from Wallbike shouldn't I?
