It's interesting that almost all of the negative comments about the saddle
( once past initial break in) seemed to be about the B17 imperial Narrow.

I rode the B17N for 500 miles before switching to Standard width, which worked well The B17N was not great for me. Last year I tried a Swift and that was horrible. For the umpteenth time, I compared dimensions of the popular unsprung Brooks saddles (B17, B17N, team pro, swift, swallow). I never noticed that the B17 and Swallow are the longest at 288mm. The B17N and Swift are identical dimensions and shorter. The team pro is the shortest of the bunch.
