The B17 doesn't feel horrible, but it does feel kind of weird...like I am sitting on a wooden plank.
You should give it away. I can PM you my address...
No, seriously, the B17 is a great saddle. Mine is finally breaking in after about 6000 miles (yes, I'm being serious). It does get more comfortable with time. Give it a few thousand miles and it'll undoubtedly get better. IF you aren't concerned about having a 5 pound seat, get the sprung version... it may be a B66 if memory serves me...
