Brooks confusion

[kingrollo]

B17 imperial , like the b17 but with a cut out. Have on both my road bikes, very pleased. Around £60 from Amazon. The eldest one is coming up to 3 years old and is very comfy - its looking a little sad after a soaking the other weekend ! - but a bit of proofride will hopefully spruce it up once more.
I have a hip/hamstring issue and can only get comfy on a brooks - looks slightly odd on a CF race bike but ill take that if means I can ride pain free

I butchered my B17 into an Imperial. Drill saw and a Stanley knife
Unless that hole in the saddle is there I don't half suffer.
