Still have it? Lace it!
http://corkgrips.wordpress.com/2010/...brooks-saddle/ Just found it when I searched Brooks and Lace. No affiliation but browsing it...looks like a interesting blog.
I have a B17 on one bike and a Champion flyer (B17 with springs on another). The B17 is for a bike with a bit more relaxed riding position. If the bars are significantly lower then the saddle then you may want to look at the Brooks Swallow, Swift or Team. I tried putting the B17 on a crit bike and I was miserable. LOVE it on my Touring bikes. REI has their member discounts periodically and I picked up the B17 for $80 + tax on the last 20% off deal.
