I have one in slate, I believe. I won't be in the US to ship it until the middle of May. It's a hair too wide for me.

I have a C17s (lady's model) with an unfortunate stain that could be had relatively cheap. Slate.

We have a black C17 w/ maybe 100 miles bought when they first came out. No go for the wife until she tried a C17S. We both road Professionals for years so I believe the Cambiums, while excellent, are not as accommodating in fit.

The C15s nailed it for me.

After some research, I think the C15 is what I am looking for. So, men's/c15; flexible on color.

Read the request of Vintagerando, and appears he's after a C15. If by chance this is factual, I wouldn't mind acquiring your C17 for my 89 Cannondale winter rider.
Looking forward to your reply.

With respect to Vintagerando, hope not to derail the thread but I'm curious why there are many claimed low use Cambiums. Are the rubbers a very particular fit vs. giving the leather type time to break in? What's the consensus on durability?

In my case, the C17 is just too wide.^^^^

I tend to sit far back on saddles, and found that the rivets on my Cambium aren't my favorite. I'm in Connecticut...
