The B-17 narrow or the Swift from Brooks are 152mm wide. The B17N is relatively cheap and is a bit softer then other Brooks in my experience. That makes the saddle easier to break in than some of the other models. I have 3 B17N and one Professional and I prefer the 17's. I even put one on my Stumpjumper FSR. Everyone wonders how I can ride such a hard saddle but they just don't know how comfy it is.
