B17 comes in a narrow version, that's what I have. I got one this spring, and put about 2k kms on it so it's pretty well broken in now although I didn't find it particularly uncomfortable from the start. It's still not as comfy as my SLR gel flow though (which is my favourite of all my saddles), although I expect it will last longer.

1.5 tsp salt
2 tbs olive oil
1.75C warm water.
