This saddle is a pretty narrow saddle (260 x 160mm), so if you are a recreational rider who mostly "sits" on your saddle, or rides an upright bike such as a mountain bike or a 3-speed, the B-17 which is both longer and wider (280 x 170mm) and which is brooks's most comfortable saddle without springs, is a better choice.This saddle looks awesome, and has been in production for at least 70 years.The quality is superbe and the leather is much thicker than cheaper knockoff saddles.With proper care this saddle will last at least 30 years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes second.This model was used on just about every racing bicycle in the 1950-1980 era.
When riding on bumps, you have to tighten your hamstring muscles and take up the shocks in your knees with a Team Pro saddle.The saddle won't absorb shocks or vibrations for you.If you are not accustomed to "standing" (so 2/3rds of your weight is on your legs, not your bum) on rough pavement, you will find this saddle unacceptable.When I take mine on 50-miles rides, I sometimes come home with a numb pelvic bone.
On the plus side, the saddle is narrow, is chamfered, and the leather is very slick, so you are unlikely to get chafe marks when riding all day long at high (110-120 rpm) cadence.
