Can I get some feedback on the Brooks sprung saddles? If the standard B-17 is a good fit for my anatomy, which sprung model should I try?

Thanks!!

I would give the Champion Flyer (B17 top) the first shot then if that is still uncomfortable go to the B67 (I am assuming you can mount a single rail) if you need double rail a B-66 in either the universal or the Champion form. The B66 Champion is the B17 top on a sprung frame.
I also reccomend ordering from Wallingford Bike Parts they have a very generous return policy.
