I'm a little stunned that I just dropped this much cash on a saddle, but it's a small price for happy lady bits and preventing any long term damage right?? Pulled the trigger on a B17 Imperial from WallBike after some advice from Bill via email today. My sit bones measure 135 center and 180 outside in an upright position and 170 outside leaning forward. I was torn between the B68 and B17 Imperial but he suggested that I try the B17 with my riding position and goal of training for the 2013 STP. The guarantee should make it nice and easy to exchange for the B68 if I do need the extra width after all, though the Imperial is not in stock at the moment so I'm crossing my fingers that the B17 Imperial will be a winner! I recall maybe in the 2 hour blur it took to read this thread some folks went from cut out seats to the non-cut out Brooks' just fine so I won't worry about the B68 Imperial not being in stock... yet.

Now... is it here yet??
