I have a pre-aged Flyer on my Soma DoubleCross set up with noodlebars. I love it. I haven't used a B17 but in Philly I thank god for my 35c Schwalbes and the sprung saddle every time I ride. For a while I had one of the used Selle-Anatomica saddles that Riv was selling on there but I moved that to my beater/fixed/cruiser.
I have a Velo-Orange Croissant saddle bag on mine, works pretty much just fine. It seems for a Bombadil you'll be gaining much and losing very little considering you've already chosen a steel bike with double top tubes, I'm assuming beefy wheels...etc. I'd grab one and try it out - either for 60 bucks from Cyclotourist or from some place that has a guarantee or somesuch. Ben's Cycles has a metric buttload of Brooks saddles on sale at all times.
