But seriously, if you are comfortable for long times and distances, it's the right saddle for you.

Another vote for the B-17: I have a B-17 on my gravel-grinder, using it for rides like the Almanzo 100 and Westside Dirty Benjamin (a few of us make this the Royal Benjamin - 150 miles). Never had a perineal issue.

I'm slow getting to it, but there are more Brooks in my future... won't purchase any other saddle.

edit - I ride 15 to 25 hours a week through summer and 10-15 hours per week through the winter.

They way one sits on a brooks or any other leather saddle for that matter is with the ischial tuberosities so it's one of the few saddles where the "buttometer" test quite relevant. This of course because you cannot really lean forwards with a leather saddle. A B17 is actually quite narrow even if the measured width is around 175mm. Due to the iron rail under the saddle the suspended leather is only around 135mm wide and the outsides of one's sitbones need to fit there. If your sitbones are 135mm outside to outside they most likely will not be wider than 115mm center to center. More likely they'll be 105mm or narrower. That's pretty dang narrow.

Really you have to make your own choice , by trying a bunch out, yourself.
