I have decided I want to buy a Brooks saddle and I have decided to go with a B-17. My question is should I get a standard or the imperial? Any thoughts? I'll buy it from somewhere with a return policy, so I can always exchange it, but still, I'd rather get some input on the two saddles first. I read some older threads and it seemed some people loved the Imperial with the cut out while others did not like it as much as the standard. My commute is 6.5 miles each way, but I also use my bike for 20-30 mile long rides on weekends. The saddle will go on my Civia Prospect, a steel-framed bike with dropbars that was marketed as a "daily commuter" (http://civiacycles.com/bikes/prospect/) that could also do light (weekend tours). I say was, because I don't think they make it anymore although you might be able to buy one that s in stock somewhere.
