I'm also tempted, but am leery of the "narrow" designation.
Do you know if it's narrower at the nose, at the widest spot, or at both?
I'm in the market because I have a like-new B-17 Imperial, now called "carved", with the cut-out. Try as I may, I cannot get fully used to it, and am looking to swap it for a black B-17 regular.
Thanks!

This made me wonder whether or not to take the plunge into Brooks-land.

Confirmed sale with
@hazetguy
The year spent away from all my builds is drawing to a close. Time to move on with my life and continue to do things that give me joy. Hopefully I can impart these things to my Son when he visits me.
So much to do to establish a bike room!
