Hey Gary,  couldn’t see how to contact you directly.   I’ll take the Slate/ tan 
c17 if still available.   Thanks.   -Mike

Re: [RBW] C17 or C17 Carved?

[Jay in Tel Aviv]

I've been riding a Cambium for a while. The rails broke, Brooks sent me a 
new set immediately and it's been fine ever since. Very easy to replace if 
you have the star driver, which I did. Riv of course offered to send me a 
whole new saddle. Silly, over the top customer service but they didn't have 
just the rail that I needed. So I went to Brooks and was completely 
satisfied.

No problem so far with the "leather"

[Jeff Lesperance]

Where else is there a significant failure rate
being reported? Three reported failures on that other discussion on the
iBob list, one first-hand and the other two second-hand, indicates
a systemic problem? I tried searching for other reported failures and
haven't found it as a topic in any other internet bike hangouts I visit.
There could be a larger design or implementation problem but I'd like to
see a valid sample size, and hear Brooks reaction as well.

I have 3 C-17 carved and 1 regular C17, as well as a B-17n that I turned
into a 'carved' model. I have the natural, slate and black C-17's. I have
anywhere from a couple dozen up to a couple thousand miles on the Cambium
saddles and have had no issues at all. I definitely much prefer the carved
model. I would be sad if I started having a problem, and Brooks would be
the first to hear about it, but these saddles have been a game changer for
me and I wouldn't hesitate to buy more or recommend them to friends.

Dead split between people who've had an issue & those who haven't!? Still, 
worrisome I have about a dozen bikes with Brooks saddles,  including a C-17 
(good so far, but it's only got a few hundred miles on it) I am worried though, 
 because I just got a C-19 yesterday!

heads up current discussion on iBob 
 
https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/internet-bob/VXruH2NKHEQ%5B1-25%5D
at the very least, this would keep me away from a carved C17
for me, the only saddle is Brooks Select

Re: [RBW] C17 or C17 Carved?

[masmojo]

I have the C-17 carved on my Rawland and I have been happy with it so far. I 
don't have the regular to compare to, but I have half a dozen bikes with B-17 & 
I think I prefer having the cut out to not having it.

Re: [RBW] C17 or C17 Carved?

[Tim Butterfield]

I have had both the B17 and B17 Imperial and preferred the Imperial.  I
have a C17 now, but will be getting the C17 Carved for my AHH.  My guess is
that since I preferred the slot of the Imperial, I will prefer the slot of
the Carved also.

Re: [RBW] C17 or C17 Carved?

[René Sterental]

I have both. I think I prefer the carved, but honestly, I don't think I can
tell the difference in feel. I've done long rides 3 - 4 hours on both.

Choose the color you prefer and toss a coin for carved or not... :-)
