Brooks B17 Special Saddle -- excellent quality & comfort
I'm currently training for a brevet series and am starting to rack up the miles. I find that my B17 Special growning more comfortable with each passing day. It's narrow enough for fast spinning and supporative enough for long hauls. While the sweet spot in its tail section is wide and accomodating during tempos riding and climbs, you won't be able to shift your weight to its nose when the pace picks up, if that's your habbit. It just isn't designed for crit-style riding and its nose is just too narrow and unforgiving. For long-distance training, Century rides, trecking and touring, this saddle is wonderful!

My Favorite Saddle
I have been a serious cyclist for the past 14 years. I have tried a number of saddles and all have left me with a desire for more. I have been on a B-17 for the past three years and have been pleased with the fit and comfortable ride. Once you find the sweet spot for your sit bones, your butt becomes the least of your problems (as opposed to lungs and legs). My bike shop also provided me with Brooks bar ends which really helps make my bike look terrific. Long milage riders will appreciate Brooks. The only complaint I have is the rails are flared out which means my Topeak saddle bag doesn't attach easily. Small problem for so much comfort.
Beautiful Saddle
This is one beautiful saddle. Sure it is a bit hard at first, but after only four 30 minute rides it was already starting to fit great. The copper is also classy. I highly recommend this one.
