I have.
The B17 and it's cousins are usually used with the bars close to the level of the saddle. This will be helpful for you, since raising the bars will reduce back strain.
If you are a Clydesdale, get the Flyer Special. I was unimpressed with the leather on the standard Flyer.
My Flyer is about to go on what is about to become my wife's old bike.
