1. Black Brooks B-17 with small chrome rivets
2. Navy Brooks Professional with large copper rivets
3. Faded Blue Denim Levis Brooks Cambium
4. Other saddle suggestions

I have ridden it twice with the B-17 for 20+ miles. All things being equal, I find all three saddles comfortable.

If you haven't seen my other posts about this bike, the saddle bag, bar covers, and hoods, they are made of cowhide embossed and dyed to look like alligator skin.
