Reference this earlier thread about the problems I've been having adjusting and adjusting to my Brooks B17:

Well, after about 350 miles of tilt up, tilt down, raise seat, move seat back, tilt down tilt up, tilt up some more, and on and on, I finally hit the sweet spot! I lowered the nose of the saddle until it's just about level, and moved it about 1/2 inch forward, and BINGO! I rode 30 miles today with ABSOLUTELY NO DISCOMFORT! As a matter of fact, I don't think I've EVER been this comfortable on a bicycle saddle! This Brooks B17 is GREAT!
I've gone over to the dark side, and I'm lovin' it!
Here's a pic I just took after coming back from my ride (excuse the mess in the "computer lab"):
