I like my brooks and would say go for it, worst case if the saddle does not work then rehydrate and flip

If you have a saddle that you are riding now and like.....compare it to the brooks for shape......saddles are very individual

fwiw here is my personal brooks experience

B17 on an commuter/utiliyt with upright seating...... fantabulous once a I got a few twiddly settings dialed in (back of saddel leve, tip poinst up a couple of degrees) was total comfort from day one and has just gotten better

B17-N Imperial on a road bike, bars slightly below saddled height..... did not work for me....saddled top was too flat

Swift on sam road bike......comfortable day one and getting better with miles. after the b17 n I looked at my previous go to saddle a '89 turbo....and looked for a brooks withh a similar profile and top...which is why I went swift rather than Pro or Swallow
