Larry,
I rode Alba/B17 combo for 2 or 3 years, 9mi commute each way, never over
55mi per day. Reach to the bars was longish, found myself holding the tips
often, so wasn't completely upright, but still got sore and stood every 3
or 4 miles to get comfortable again. I'm about 40# heavier than
I am 5'8 170 lbs. Small framed guy. And my Brooks Flyer felt great at
first, but upon upping the mileage, I noticed my left cheek near the sit
bone hurting.
I felt around, and feels like the outside of my left sit bone sits on the
furthest rivet on the left side of the saddle.
So now I
how about a plain old B68 without the springs? It's textured, but it's the
correct width for sitting upright, and doesn't need breaking in.

I've been using a B17 with Albas and a Flyer (sprung B17) with Boscos, and
it's been working really well for me. The big turn off for the wider
saddles for me is that they make it harder to sit farther back on the
saddle, which for me is important for upright riding comfort. Pictures:
I've also used a B17 with Albatross bars for a couple of years, with no
issues.

I am very happy with a Selle Anatomica and Albas on my Sam. Bars are a bit
lower than the saddle. I'm 5'11.5 pbh 86 Sam is a 56 with an 11mm stem.

I use B17 with Albas on my Surly Cross Check (Bars above the saddle). I had
to angle the nose up a little when I changed over from Moustache bars.
Otherwise, the B17 has been great. (5'7 on a good day, 155#)

i use a berthoud and previously a b17 on my quickbeam
on another bike i use a b17-flyer
both are fine. the alba's do provide a more upright position, but if
you're putting them on a previously drop-bar bike, it would not be that
drastic a change.

I ride a B-17 Narrow with drop bars and a B-17 regular with Albas. Provides
just the right adjustment in width for the different postures in my case.

I've thought about it. The B68 has been discontinued by Brooks so its hard
to find a new one.

B17 works very well for me. I have a B17 and Albas on an MB3 and a

B68 for sale googles up in force Modern bike is loaded, as is ebay and
several vendors
Yeah, I'm not happy about the b68 being discontinued. I've got 4 in play
currently (b68 and b68s models) so naturally, I'm a fan.

Thanks for the link, Ron. I'm aware that they're out there still (for the time
being) and probably should stock up but other necessities beckon.
