[QUOTE=DropBarFan;19020148]Did you previously use other Brooks' saddles? I'm intrigued by the Swift since it appears to have narrower nose/mid-section & less skirt flare than B17 which gave me a bit of thigh rub. Swift Ti is only about 20% lighter than the steel version which IMO is sort of nice in that one doesn't give up much (& saves $$) by going with the steel. Pretty too.

I tried a friends B17 and found the skirt chuffed my thighs. I put the first Swift on an 82 Colnago that I restored, more for looks than comfort, but was amazed how comfortable it was. It is as comfortable after a couple of hundred miles and any of my other saddles. I bought the chrome version because the chrome looks better on the bike. The cost savings is also a great benefit.

If you buy one of these saddles and don't like it, it's readily salable on Craigslist or eBay.

Good luck.
