So the question I have is, how do you like to ride, bent forward or sitting up? Forward try the Flyer first or upright try the B67. Keep in mind, both will require a break in but you should be able to tell if you like them within a week. I've had both the B190 and the B72 on my Townie and the B190 is the pure comfort winner but with the Sirrus, you would be leaning forward and not able to take advantage of its qualities.
Well I went ahead and order the B67 this morning from Wallbikes along with the tin of creme used to keep the leather subtle. If it is too wide I'll return for the B17 but since I'm on the flatbar and never used a narrow seat before the Sirrus Comp I think I may do better with the wider. It's really not my butt that gets so sore or my tail bone. It's closer to the crotch area only on the sides so I'm thinking it may be the narrowness. Hope that wasn't tmi. Anyway I'm delighted to have made the decision....any decision and acted on it! Also sprung this morning for a Jandd expedition rear rack that is rated for 75lbs and is 3" longer. Yesterday order new bike shoes that I tried on at at my LBS but they didn't have my size and needed one size larger. Next is new bar ends that are thick plastic with finger grooves and new pedals A530 shimano's to go with my new shoes and I'm set for a while. At least till my wallet recovers a bit! Thanks for all the help with the saddle everyone.
