Bell's Bike Shop has B-17 Narrows for 100 bucks.

I was looking at that , but I read "The B17 is most appropriate for cyclists who set their handlebars about the same height as their saddles, or a bit lower." (sheldon brown)
Don't most Track Bike set up's have their handlebars a lot lower? my handlebars are about an inch and a half lower. So idk if it would be comfortable :/

I'm debating between the two aswell. I have a brooks right now... but its from the 50's, I don't really want to ride it because i dont want to mess it up. But I rode it enough to break it in and i was very impressed with the comfort. I have weird shaped ass bones.
