FWIW: I've tried various Brooks saddles on various bikes, mostly with negative results. It wasn't until I tried a WTB saddle that I found something I could actually tolerate all day. That was 20+ years into my cycling career and 10 years after switching to a recumbent. I'm happy enough with the WTB saddles to have them on my uprights. To each his own.
When I got this I could not sit on any saddle... everything aggravated the sciatic pain I was experiencing after I fragged the back.
I also have non leather saddles that are quite good but the B17 Imperial is my long distance touring saddle that has been great since day 1.
