I don't have the brooks anymore. I believe when I had it, it was a c17.(not leather) It was very painful for me. I tried it 3-4 times and no luck.
My newer bike that I got about a month ago came with a Specialized Bridge Sport 155. It seemed even worse for me than the WTB. I switched it to the WTB after the first ride, as it was more comfortable for shorter 30 mile or less rides.
