Brooks B66 or B73?
Could someone please recommend a Brooks saddle for commuting?
I'm female and prefer a upright riding position.
I have never owned a spring saddle and this will be for my newly procured Raleigh Stowaway.
I looked at the B73 and B66 but am completely unsure which one would be better for me since there isn't a shop where I can try them both out at.
Does anyeone have any experience with these saddles?

I'd go with the B66 S at wallbikes. S is for short, so I guess a shorter nose makes it more woman friendly.

I believe the seat post angle of a Raleigh twenty might more effectively accommodate a B68 or 68S. IMHO a preaged B68s. Would work and look great on your stowaway.
I've tried both a B17 and B68 on my Friday, while I stayed with the B17, probably by default because I had a bike on which the B68 worked better.
