Saddle help
I hanve come for opinions. I have a fitness bike and a road bike. The fitness has a B17, realize on that bike [fitness] you sit up. I also have a road bike that needs a new saddle. I am wondering if a B17 would work on it or do I need to get the Pro Team which is currently back ordered or the B17 narrow, which doesn't offer the beveled sides in the nose. I want to hear what you think.

I have gone to the ISM PR 2.0 and PR 3.0, for my all purpose paved road bike and my bikepacking bike. They are split, short nose saddles. I respect the leather saddle choice, but since I may be riding in the rain and don't want to bother with a saddle cover, I exclude the Brooks from consideration. I used to ride and love the WTB touring and speed saddles. I like the ISM saddles better.

Try the B-17 on the road bike. There are some who prefer a narrower saddle, but that's a personal choice. For long rides the B-17 is probably the better choice.
