Can't imagine anything better than the B17, unless, perhaps, you keep your bars way below the saddle. The break-in lore is greatly overdone; mine felt like home right out of the box and I suppose it will get better as takes on the shape of my bottom. I suppose it may not be ideal if you keep your bars way below the saddle, otherwise I don't see how you'd go wrong. Chain Reaction Cycles: only $63 for the standard with surprisingly fast mail by the cheapest method (Imperial International). Comfortable isn't quite the right word; "absent" is better, as it just seems to disappear. No issues. Only time I give it a thought is when I look at the bike and think "man, that looks cool".
