Hi there I have a roady that I commute with on my way to work, its a pretty relaxed fit as far as roadies go and during the winter i switch to a mountain bike.

I was eyeing the B17 and the Flyer for a nice saddle but was wondering if I should go with springs or not?

I hit pot holes and have bumpy roads sometimes just like everyone else. Does the springs make a difference? noticable difference? Any downsides? Is the weight actually noticable?

I wiegh ~ 180lbs and at the moment my commute is short ~3km but thats always changing, plus i take ~20km trips often. Nothing huge but nice saddles are nice. Maybe I shouldnt even bother?
