"I've heard that..."
I remember a quote from somewhere.."..some people live their lives based on what they've heard.."
I jumped into Brooks saddles last year. I picked up a few..a std B17, one B17 Imperial, one C17 carved.
All of them were the most comfortable saddles I've come across, right out of the box. The least comfortable is the C17, though with a sight nose-down attitude it's still very good. The leather ones are wonderful.
The previous most-comfortable saddle was a Selle TRK. I have wide sit-bones(141mm). The Selle was 155mm wide, the Brooks are 165-ish(?).
