SqLabs must have 20 or 30 models; WTB another 20, etc. Fizik, etc.
Maybe I need to travel a bit and find a larger shop that carries a broad selection and try stuff out.
Yup.
I can't tell you how many times I've read, on this forum, comparisons between the "B17" and other saddles, without ever specifying what a "B17" is. Well, the comparison may be valid, or not; but at many times there have been more than one versions of the B17, and of course they have been making them for over a century, and a lot of the ones in use today are several decades old. It's not always obvious how old a saddle is.
