Description
 
This is the basic Brooks B.17, and is just as comfy as any of them, and just as durable. It costs less than the Special B.17 because it lacks the hand-cutting ( skiving ) on the lower edge of the flap, but who cares? And the rivets are silver and set in there by a machine, instead of being copper and pounded by a hammer-wielding guy with large, tattooed forearms. It's 17cm wide. It is the best all-around Brooks model, and the one that makes Brooks so famous and popular these days. If you sit really upright, consider another model (like the B67 or B68). But for general sportsy-type riding, this is the one we prefer, and this basic model is the cheapest way to get it.

Most comfortable saddle I have ever ridden... March 20, 2013
Reviewer: Michael from United States  
Makes riding in plain clothes a comfortable experience (for me, anyway). My other plastic-y race type saddle really makes clothing seams gouge me. But this Brooks is smooth and like sitting on a chair seat.

The B17 also has metal loops/slots on the back that take straps for attaching saddle bags. Nice feature!!
