Brooks B17 Special Saddle -- excellent quality & comfort, February 6, 2009
This review is from: Brooks Heritage Saddles B17 Special Saddle (Sports)
I'm currently training for a brevet series and am starting to rack up the miles. I find that my B17 Special growning more comfortable with each passing day. It's narrow enough for fast spinning and supporative enough for long hauls. While the sweet spot in its tail section is wide and accomodating during tempos riding and climbs, you won't be able to shift your weight to its nose when the pace picks up, if that's your habbit. It just isn't designed for crit-style riding and its nose is just too narrow and unforgiving. For long-distance training, Century rides, trecking and touring, this saddle is wonderful!

My Favorite Saddle, April 16, 2010
I have been a serious cyclist for the past 14 years. I have tried a number of saddles and all have left me with a desire for more. I have been on a B-17 for the past three years and have been pleased with the fit and comfortable ride. Once you find the sweet spot for your sit bones, your butt becomes the least of your problems (as opposed to lungs and legs). My bike shop also provided me with Brooks bar ends which really helps make my bike look terrific. Long milage riders will appreciate Brooks. The only complaint I have is the rails are flared out which means my Topeak saddle bag doesn't attach easily. Small problem for so much comfort.

Beautiful Saddle, April 5, 2010
This review is from: Brooks Heritage Saddles B17 Special Saddle (Sports)
This is one beautiful saddle. Sure it is a bit hard at first, but after only four 30 minute rides it was already starting to fit great. The copper is also classy. I highly recommend this one.

This saddle is magnificent!, May 3, 2010
Through 35 years and multi-thousands of miles of road and mountain biking, I've owned five saddles -- two horribly uncomfortable seats, one good one that broke, two very nice ones still in use, and now this beautiful Brooks I've installed today on my commuter bike. I've just returned from a half hour spin, and I already know this saddle will be the best of my life.
Yes, it's as hard as ebony, but I know right now that its design ... form ... shape ... whatever that's called ... accomodates all of the shifts of weight and angles that a cyclist's behind requires while climbing, descending, and cruising. It seems to support and contain my precious bottom's motion while allowing a slick transition between positions.
I wouldn't head out on long ride on it tomorrow - I've been warned about riding a new Brooks - but my daily few miles will be painless, I know, and I suspect I'll be thinking about replacing my other two bikes' perfectly decent saddles with Brooks.
Why, oh why, did I wait so long to finally get a Brooks? I guess I was afraid of the initial break-in. Well, unless a rider's leaving tomorrow on a long, long ride, I know there's no need to fear a Brooks. Even then, I think it'd work out. A serious rider has a serious bottom.
My serious bottom is happy.

Great, August 14, 2009
Product shipped in a timely fashion and was exactly as expected. May take a while to break in, but it's a hit so far! It was a gift for an avid cyclist, the best saddle on the market by far.
