Hi Roberta... and thanks! I will say that the B17 and C17 do feel different, but both can work great. The C17, for me, has a better chance of working well and not hurting me right out of the box. The B17's can take some time to get to that point, The other side of that is the C17 will most likely always be the same, where the B17 should improve over time and miles. There are also leather treatments (Proofide, Obenauf's, etc.) that can help the improvement process along.
The other thing I do like about the Cambium's versus the leather saddles is that the Cambium's are not hurt by wet weather or certainly not hurt the way a leather saddle can be. Wet does not necessarily hurt the leather but riding it when it is wet can. That's where saddle covers or even plastic bags come in handy but I was forever forgetting to have one with me. The recommended leather treatments help with all of that but I would still use a cover or whatever if needed. Not that I am still in the market, but I have wanted to try one of the C19's (wider than the C17 but same construction) for more upright bikes but I have not had one . Also, I really like the Tigr lock! It is light, fairly strong, easy to carry. I don't trust any lock to keep a bike safe for long, unattended periods, but the Tigr lock is so light I always have it with me, either in its clip or in my bag or pack. I bought a pair when they had their Kickstarter and if I am being especially careful I can use the two to lock both the frame and the front wheel separately, Even with the two locks, they are much lighter than one big heavy lock. Hope that helps and thanks for the good wishes!
