On our Bilenky (drop bar 650B touring setup) we have a B17 for the captain
and a Flyer S (ladies model) for the stoker. If you stick with the stock
non-sprung seatpost a sprung saddle for the stoker is a very good idea, as
the stoker will not see (and the captain will miss calling out) all of
I used to care about everything matching on my tandem but no longer.
I have a B17 on the front and a flyer? On the rear.
I haven't used a thud buster post but the last several stokers have said the
sprung saddle is very comfortable even when a bump appears too soon for
warning.

Michael makes the seminal point in choosing tandem seats; the stoker needs
something extra to smooth out bumps. I would go with the flier. My wife is
riding a flier on her bike and loves it.

I would stay with my favorite saddle but recommend a Thud Buster post for
the stoker. Because stokers can't see the road, part of tandeming requires
the pilot to notify the stoker of bumps but it's impossible to do this all
the time. Those of us who have been riding a long time instinctively
+1 for the flyer. i'd put one on any bike that isnt super weight conscious,
and even some that are.

I recommend handwringing that they don't make the B68 anymore. :-)
Honestly, I'll probably run whatever comes with. If it comes with nothing,
I'll run the saddle that came on my Appaloosa and run a B17 on my
Appaloosa.

My 2 cents - stick with B17. Your butt is used to it. Also, the B67 squeaks
sometimes, and it is just so inelegant (unelegant?) with those springs.
Plus, whatever your age, the B67 makes you look 10 years older. Finally,
it's harder to run saddlebag straps through the holes with those springs
