Thank you everyone. I ordered the B17 Imperial from Nashbar using their 20% discount and free shipping. We'll see how it goes. Given the sit-bone comfort of the standard B17, I'm hopeful it will work out. Cyber.snow, I did try the Selle SMP TRK at one point as well as a number of WTB saddles etc. etc. I'm a 60 YO guy who rides fairly upright so that probably makes saddle comfort more of a challenge. For some reason the Selle athletic respiro has worked out the best for me even though it has a lot of padding. Hopefully, the Brooks will do even better. For those interested, the Brooks is going on a Soma Double Cross but I do have Fuji Touring the saddle could be used on. Both bikes are set up the same.
