I have a C17 on my Appaloosa and it really does not agree with me. I bought the Cambium because I thought it would be more durable in the snow and rain. As it turns out, the cotton outer layer absorbs water, whereas with a leather saddle you can just wipe it off in one second (or keep it covered). I have a vintage B67 that I brought back to life with proofide and a B17 select on other bikes. The B17 select is the comfiest of the lot. I'm going to buy another Brooks soon because I broke the nose of the B67 (after 5+ years of daily, very hard use and abuse), and I think I'm going to go with one with the springs.
I don't mean to trash the product, but I found almost nothing in common between the B17 and C17 other than the name brand.
