Would probably do just fine. Some might suggest a narrower Brooks with the bars that low, but only your butt can tell you. I'll probably be putting my honey B17 on the road bike tonight (it currently has the Team Pro) and trying it out over the weekend. I keep the bars on that bike perhaps an inch below the saddle level. I'll try to remember to update you on how well it works for me.
