    Approx. 7 cm of adjusting length on the rail of the B17's. If you need more rail consider buying a Rivet - I have the Rivet Pearl and have 12 cm rail so more flex for adjusting. My sits are really narrow - 80 mm center to center so I thought the Pearl would be to wide until I rode it and realized the wiggle room was ideal for me. The B17 regular has a similar width so don't shy away from that either. I like a shorter "skirt" (the side), another reason for picking the Pearl. Like us, most reputable places offer a six month return policy on leather saddles as we know how every body is different. Good Luck, let me know if I can help.

    I like the Rivet, but the Brooks B17 comes in blue After what Sheila said I'm thinking the regular B17 should fit. I generally take a saddle that is 150-155mm and on Brook's website it says the saddle is 175mm, so if I subtract the 20 mm that should be right. I agree that less skirt looks nicer though.
