Shocking. Someone recommended a B-17 even after he said it was too expensive.

Go to the LBS and see if they'll let you try a couple (they will, just go when they are slow). Look for a wide-ish saddle with firm-ish padding and a split middle. Or just try what the dudes at the shop recommend. You'll find something you like.

brooks are nice and beautiful, but also heavy and wayyy-over-rated (yes I've tried them, I own two, and they are overpriced somewhat comfy eyecandy)
