I keep seeing recommendations for the Brooks B17. While a great saddle This is
NOT the saddle for an upright position
NOR for a heavier rider over 200 lbs. I know the general consensus is ride more your ass will get used to it but, and I'm a Brooks user and felt my 2 attempts over the years to use a B17 turned out to be taint destroyers. Do not get a B!7.
I currently have 2 brooks saddles of two seperate bikes. On my cruiser which is very upright, so the saddle takes a lot of the weight I have a B33. On hard dirt or pavement this thing eats bumps and saves my back.
And in my Fattire bike which is not as upright but not a hard lean. I have a B135 a little narrower but really works well offroad for me.
While these are not light saddles, both are in the 3 1/2 pound range...I'm pretty sure no one here in the 200+ forum is worried about extra grams on their bike, Its about what gets the job done.
