A friend of mine bought what he thought was a C17, hated it, and sold it to me
at a great price. I say thought because what he had was the women's model ... the C17s.
Now, I'm a huge Brooks fan and currently have 4 Brooks saddles...B17, Swift, Team pro, and my newly acquired
C17s. I mostly complete an SR series or two ( sometimes three) each season and do an additional 1000km or two...depending on what
is offered and how much time I can spend away from my family. I do all my rando rides fixed.
I just put the C17s on my around town track bike and rode in an organized century this past Sunday.

I really liked it.
Was it as good as my leather Brooks?
Possibly, though I'd say it was different.
I'll try it next on a 200 and work my way up through the distances and see it the performance holds,
but for me the initial test is promising. I don't anticipate any problems.
