Thank you for this review. I have two Brooks B17 saddles, one B17 classic and the other B17s (Ladies Standard). I love my B17 classic and cannot get used to the B17s - which is odd as I'm a female rider and the saddle was technically speaking made to fit the female anatomy. But I am incredibly happy wih the B17 and have it installed on my touring bike, which allows me to ride the bike without padded shorts.
I have three Dawes Ultra Galaxy touring bikes all will Brooks B17 saddles. I don't wear padded shorts and I've cycled hundreds of miles over the course of many days and never had a sore backside. They really are magically comfortable.
Hello Gareth. I can’t agree with you more. And the best thing is; the more you ride a Brooks saddle the better it gets. More often than not I am like you. I don’t bother with padded shorts. Just not necessary. Thanks for your post.
Love the brooks saddle, I have 3.Two B17 one on a touring bike, one on a fixed gear and I also have a Brooks swift saddle on a road bike. They are all comfortable saddles.
Hello Adrian. No it doesn’t. That has not been an issue for me. When I ride I don’t feel the bag swinging and I have not heard the tools inside rattling. If you go over a rough patch on the road it will bounce a little.

Hello wheels on bike. I love my Brooks saddle. It just keeps on getting more comfortable with age.

Best saddle hands down. I have so far 3 Brooks saddles. Swift, B17, and will be a new owner of Flyer Imperial.

Nice saddle, I own a similar honey one. Does the letter bag swing much while pedalling? I would like to try it. Regards.

What did you decide on nose position… flat or nose “up”?
Thanks!
Hello Leo. I decided on nose up just a hair.
