Jlaw, I have a Concor Confort saddle that is shaped much like the Laser, and it, too is comfortable, but only for about 2 or 3 hours. After that it becomes a pain in the arse. Shape of the saddle is critical for my comfort, and saddles that are wide like the B17 are not a good fit. Back in the day I had a B15N, and it was a great all day touring saddle. The Professional I now use only a vintage bike is good all day as well. A shame it needs to be replaced. My wife calls me a tight-azz, I guess it must be true!
