One suggestion for the B17 - I'm reading into this a bit, so apologies if this is redundant. Pretty much everyone I've met (myself included) has been surprised by the unusual upward angle most people have their Brooks saddles positioned at for optimal comfort. I came from years of race saddles and bib shorts. When I got my first Brooks, I set it up flat just like all the other saddles I've had, and found it uncomfortable. It wasn't until I gave it a gentle upward angle that encouraged my body to slide back on the slipper leather, positioning my seat bones on the widest and softest section of the saddle, that I achieve Brooks nirvana. Of course saddle angle and position is highly personal, but consider it a friendly tip to try out if you aren't quite sure the Brooks is working. The higher your bars, the higher I find I need to angle the saddle. Enjoy the bike, it's gorgeous!!!
