Hi everyone,

I have been trailing through the many posts here about brooks saddles and would love some advice. I currently use my drop bar bike as mainly my commuter (to uni and work etc) and the handlebars are about even with the seat. I have had a specialized oura in the past (155mm) but it was chaffing badly on my inner thighs and causing blisters. I tried a loaner Selle Italia SLR Lady from the bike shop and width wise it is much better (from memory my stiffness are around 130-135mm on specialized test) but it still is not quite right - still very sore despite constant tweaking to the height, angle etc. I have heard so many good things about the Brooks saddles but am at a loss as to which one would be right - I am not a big person by any means and am around 90lbs - and petite. Would a brooks b17 be too wide in the nose and cause thigh chaffing again? Should i go with the B17 narrow or a different model all together? There is no where in my state (Queensland australia) that has them to try I typically ride without proper cycling shorts as I have to quickly get to lectures etc, no more than an hour on the saddle at a time. PLEASE HELP A LITTLE AUSSIE!
