Arm chair cycling
I agree with the initial saddle hardness issues with the B17.My initial ride on a B17 nearly left me a soprano after I cycled in to a dip in the road.But I cured this hardness problem in a slightly unorthodox way. I covered the saddle with a cloth to avoid marking it and tenderized it like a piece of steak for about 10 minutes with the handle of a 2 pound hammer.The front of the saddle underneath on its frame is a tension adjusting nut. I slackened it a little and rode the bike for 2-3 days before readjusting. I had that first B17 saddle a good 10-12 years and many thousands of miles before it wore out, it was like having an arm chair on a bike.
I am going back to cycling after a long break and I plan to leave my B17 on my touring bike and buy a new one for the hybrid type I'm buying.
A Tip! Carry a plastic bag under the saddle if you have to leave your bike out in the rain, even if you have it oiled.

B17 -Breaking it in
I was interested to read a review which said it takes 300 miles or so to break in a Brooks saddle.Having done only 100 miles or so on my B17 it still feels like a slab of concrete!
But here's hoping that after another 200 miles os so it will feel a bit more comfortable.
