    Does anyone have a B-18?

    I absolutely love the Brooks B-18. Does anyone have one?
    I am wondering if they are more for just looks, or would it be good for longer rides such as centuries? I have looked at all the sites and would really like to hear from someone who has actually placed their butt on one!

    The B18 is very similar to the B66/67/68. (actually, also the B72)

    I think it's a gorgeous saddle, but too expensive for me. I ride B67, and love the fit and comfort. I've done 50+mile days with no butt problems at all. (Mimitabby has done much longer rides on her B67s, and has one that is 30 years old!)

    If you mesh well with any of the B6x series or the B72, I'd go for it! (and if you order it from www.wallbike.com you have 6 months no-questions-asked to try it out.)

    I think I'm going to go for it!

    Thanks for the advice. I may just order one from wallbike, what do I have to lose?
