The specs I've seen put the Champion and Flyer at 172w X 175, and the Champion S and Flyer S at 177w x 245. The B67 is 210 x 260, B67S is 210 x 235.

If your riding style is more upright, I'd recommend the B67; if you are using drop bars and/or putting more weight on your hands, the Champion S or Flyer S might be the way to go.

B-67 = B-17 top with springs
Flyer = Pro top with springs

If you like to ride upright stick with the B-67 IMO. I have one and it works great. I am 5'9" and 149 lbs virtually no break in either.
