I use a B17 on my indoor trainer where I sit completely upright or leaning slightly forward. I occasionally have used a Flyer (essentially a sprung B17) on my expedition bike but that is when I put on the suspension fork and pretend it is a mountain bike, in which case I am sitting more upright on the bike.

On my drop bar bikes I use a narrower saddle than a B17. On one drop bar bike I use the Pro and on four other drop bar bikes I use a Conquest which essentially is a sprung Pro.
Fair point, I might try my B17 off my racer with my new turing bike, and decide if it works or not, and then buy a new Brookes for it. The handle bars wont be super high just 2-4in.
