Road Cycling - Same Brooks for road and touring?

I will be replacing the saddle on my Litespeed road bike and I am also ordering a Cannondale T200 touring bike. Would it make sense to use the same saddle for both or different saddles for different bikes. My first thought was a Brooks Swift for both. But reading many threads about Brooks makes me think Team Pro for the road bike and B17 for touring. I don"t know if the more upright touring position calls for a different shape saddle or if it makes much of a differenc at all. Thanks in advance, Greg

I have a Flite on my Litespeed Classic and various other Brooks on my fixed gear road bikes to give it that retro look. I chose Brooks 50% for comfort and 50% looks. I've had the same Flite saddle on my Litespeed for nearly 10 years. I personally would not use a Brooks on a Litespeed because asthetically they clash.

George!

B17 for the tourer, and Swift for the Litespeed makes
sense to me, if you can ride it the San Marco Regal makes
a nice light Brooks lookalike statement.

I have a Team Pro on my LS Tuscany. It's been great!

Titanium framed Brooks on a Ti bike? Where's the clash.

B-17 on the commuter, swift ti on the tourer and road bike. the closest you get to heaven

The Brooks web site refers to, handlebar to seat height for each model. The more race versions (Swift and Pro)are described as handlebars lower than the seat and the B17 being more equal. No matter which bike I set up, the handlebars will be below the seat (I have out of proportion long legs and always have the seat set just about as high as it will go). Therfore I think the answer to my question is that the Swift can do both. I also like the idea of having the same saddle on bikes that both get alot of miles. Thanks, Greg

I say if you got the big bux for it, a Swift on everything. I have three of the suckers(after putting a second mortgage on the house and selling my wife into white slavery) and find it the most comfortable saddle ever created by the hands of man.
