So how did you know to choose between a B-17 and B-17 Narrow?
And other posters have said they have the spring-loaded Champion Flyers.
So how did you know which Brooks to get? I find nothing about 'sizing' or other ways of knowing whether a Brooks is appropriate to certain riding styles, size of riders, etc. on the web. Just lots of gushing approval of the Brooks saddles.
I've got a new Surly LHT set up & am thinking of a Brooks saddle but it seems as though one simply has to buy one and try it to know if it is an appropriate saddle for one's riding style...no test rides possible so far as I can see...
