In terms of the cut outs...bear in mind that I mountain bike, so I am sitting up straighter. I can see how I may have a different opinion if I was road biking. Interesting.
Good to connect with you, Incubus. Hope you are well, my friend!

Good to connect over bikes again too Dapper. I hope to be well soon. .gif "Say What?") I hope all is well in your world.
Yanno there's a big mythology about Brooks saddles but when it really comes down to it, they're not for everyone. Some folks never get along with them no matter how 'superior' they're cracked up to be. I'd still like to try one though but can't decide which model to go for. I've been offered a womens B17 at less than half price which is tempting but worried the nose would just be too short.
I'm probably in a similar riding position on my tourer to you Dapper. I don't use drops and keep relatively upright so as not to stress my neck...it may be the cut-out saddle I rode for quite a while just didn't suit me and my physiology.
