I got my B17 Championship about 2.5 months ago and have ridden about 250 miles on it so far. At first I did what I read a lot and put it as far back as I could. BAD IDEA!!! My hands and arms started hurting like crazy. I've slowly been pushing it more and more foward. Now I have it about centered and the pain is gone. As far as my sit bones are concerned, padded shorts or bareback, they love me for getting a Brooks.
Yesterday was my best day so far with this saddle. I think I started to notice butt grooves in the seat. I shined a light on it at all sorts of different angles to make sure and kept touching it and sure enough I was right. It only inspired me to ride more and more. This is the best bike related purchase I have ever made. Riding a bike has never been so much fun. The thing feels like a lazy boy.

Thanks Brooks,
