I’m a B-17 fan.
’79 Miyata Gran Touring that I foolishly sold with Brooks, and will never sell a bike with a good leather saddle again. It just doesn’t add the appropriate value.
’83 Trek 500 with 9 spd mod.

I'm not sure if I have a favorite...but this has the most Brooks saddles.
I like this bike a lot - and the saddle is definitely pretty cool:
This one is now sporting a sprung B-17 and the B-17 photo'd here is on the "Huffy"

The early Professional that was on my Hetchins until it nearly killed me on a 60 mile ride:

So I bought a new B17 Flyer Special - much better:

I like the finish - I sanded it and then applied a little Proofide:
