Brooks PRO v. B17
#1
I'm doing a ground up restoration & fixed conversion of my recently acquired '83ish Miyata "nine-twelve." I have a paint color chosen, and I'm thinking that a Honey/Copper saddle from Brooks will really set-off the bike. I'm kinda split between the Brooks "Team Professional" ($120) and the B17/B17 Narrow ($75 for B17)

Can you guys/gals mention the characteristics of the saddles. I'd be using the saddle for commutes in the 20 mile range and shorter. Currently, I'm using a Serfa Terazzo Select https://www.serfas.com/racing_saddles/TRCM.html on my Poprad, and am happy with narrow saddles.
