I will add that when you install the saddle, remember it may sit higher off the rails than your existing saddle, so you will have to lower it. The B-17 is more sensitive to a too high seat height than a saddle with a cutout, so if you run it too high, you will have perineal pain. I road the GAP and the C&O from Pittsburgh to DC when my B-17 was only about 200 miles old. It would have been fantastic, had I had the weight height dialed in better. That being said, as far as sit bones were concerned, it was great. My first day was 70 miles, and as soon as I got off the bike, I get great, and was ready to ride again the next day with no pain, or soreness. After having the bike a while. I learned better how to get the seat height where it should be, disregarding other people's opinion. As long as you get the seat adjustment dialed in, you should be okay, but ride it a while before you go, and then decide. Use your old seat if you aren't sure.
