Really love the B17 special in mustard. I've got a green B17 special from about 15 years ago, and remarkably it's stuck around while other saddles have come and gone. Thanks to it only receiving about a 3rd of my ride time over the years, getting regular proofide treatments and coverage in wet conditions I've kept it in decent nick.
Hope some of you out there grab one of these, they feel made for more eccentric frame colors!
