Riddle me this. According to the Brooks website:

To the eye, the C17 may appear quite racy in its shape and lines, which indeed it is. However the geometry and dimensions are based closely on that of our most recognisable model the B17, ensuring the same timeless comfort mile after mile, a saddle you can really settle into.

So can any of you confirm or deny that switching from a B17 (which I love) to a C17 will be a painless (literally) process?

I'm not actually switching, the C17 will be for a new bike.

I can confirm that it felt similar, however you can't change the tension.

There are people who prefer the saddle to be stiffer (even though that's very short lived), and the C17 felt like it's in the middle of not stiff but not flexy.

If you're in London, the TLCW have some C17 for you to try out for a couple weeks.
