Which Brooks saddles have you tried?
I find that a B17 does not work for me when I use the drops. I bought a B17 years ago as that was supposed to be the perfect saddle for touring. But not for my bum. The B17 works when I am sitting more upright, but not leaning forward, I have my old B17 on an old hybrid on a trainer for indoor exercise while watching TV.
I use a Brooks Pro or a Conquest on most of my bikes, the Conquest has the same shape as the Pro, but it is sprung. Conquest on my rando bike.
We met a year and a half ago on a 200k, but our conversation at that time was mostly on friction downtube shifters, not saddles. (I had friction downtube shifter for the front, brifter for the rear.)
