Brooks B17 imperial or B17 S imperial?

I have a B68 (no cutout) and love it. I suggest buying from Wallingford Bicycle Parts (wallbike.com) as they have a very generous return policy. If you decide within 6 months, that the saddle is not for you, you can return it for a full refund.

It depends on your sit bones. Alternately, if you already have a comfortable saddle, you can start there. For instance, I've ridden on Terry Butterfly saddles for at least a decade and they have been great. One of them is breaking down, however, and needs to be replaced. I thought I'd use the opportunity to try a Brooks. Coincidentally, a fellow TEer was selling a new Brooks B-17, so I jumped at it.

The Terry Butterfly is 155, and it's very comfortable for me. The Brooks B-17 is 170. The B-68 would be too wide for me. I received the saddle yesterday; today will be my first ride on it.

Let me know how your ride on the B17 goes! What bike did you put it on?

I will ride this afternoon, and hopefully get out for a longer ride tomorrow if today's ride goes well. I actually bought two Brooks B-17s. I put one on my Luna Eclipse. The other one will go on my Bike Friday Pocket Rocket Pro. Both are road bikes.
