Brooks told me a sprung Cambium type saddle is planned for 2016.
Interesting. With luck this means Brooks will also have an unsprung but
wider, shorter Cambium for more upright riding. Maybe with dimensions
between the Berthoud Marie Blanc and Mente.

It's funny because I know a lot of people ride the C17, but I didn't find
that it resembled a broken-in B17 in any way when I tried one. I rode it
for about 2 days before taking it off and selling it. It mostly felt like a
semi-hard rubber saddle with a very rounded top.
It seems to me the
An early Cambium adopter, it has been awhile since I rode on a B17. My
Cambiums are set up flat. Closer to how I used to set up the Berthoud
saddles than Brooks.

I ride my C-17 (carved) flat. I also have one of the first batch of
uncarved C-17s that I haven't ridden in a while, but I think I set it up
flat as well. I do tend to move the Cambiums a centimeter or so further
back than the B-17. For my B-17 I tilt the nose just barely above flat.
There's
Do you start to run the B17 more level once it's broken in? I don't ride
nose up but have found the C17 feels most comfortable set up just like the
standard B17.

No, if anything it's the opposite. It doesn't seem to matter if I
re-tension, adjust height or fore/aft positioning either. Again, it's not a
problem unless I'm riding in the dirt with some technical terrain. The B17
is the only saddle I've used that required a nose up tilt for me to be
After putting in some miles on the C17S I decided to switch back to my B17.
I think they feel pretty different - the C17 was nowhere near the broken in
feel of my B17. I _want_ to have a a more weather-proofed saddle and may go
down the WTB SSTx rabbit hole soon. However for me the solution
I ride my B17 special very nose-up. People often say OUCH that looks
painful! They just don't understand... My C17 is pretty much dead flat. I
agree that they don't feel the same. They are both wide and flat, but the
B17 special has a lot more give, and that hammock feel. The C17 is not a
This is exactly what I was wondering. YES, mine is a special as well and I
get the same comments. The B17 works great on my Atlantis with albatross
bars, but on my Rambler with drops is where I'm having issue. I have a
