I have had a standard B17 on my daily driver bike for about 12 years. Just a great saddle and the only one I have ever found truly comfortable. It felt pretty good right off the bat for me even though it was rock hard. I bought a Swift about a month ago for my new bike. It is a small difference over choppy pavement, but I think it will be worth the extra weight on a long day. I think it weighs a pound more. If you have fenders there is no need to worry about rain.
