Love that set-up!

Another vote for the B-17: I have a B-17 on my gravel-grinder, using it for rides like the Almanzo 100 and Westside Dirty Benjamin (a few of us make this the Royal Benjamin - 150 miles). Never had a perineal issue.

I'm slow getting to it, but there are more Brooks in my future... won't purchase any other saddle.

edit - I ride 15 to 25 hours a week through summer and 10-15 hours per week through the winter.
