Oh, I think C17 is a bit wider than the C15 and similar size to the classic B17.
I know what I'll be asking for for my next bday.

C17 fitted to my Mach. Could probably gotten away with the C15 width wise but as I use both B17 + B17 Narrow and find the B17 slightly more comfortable that tipped the scales.

I've got the C17. It's the comfiest saddle I've had.

Given that wiggle/crc is cheapest for me, I can either get: C17 black - carved (wiggle) C17 natural (CRC) C15 rust (wiggle) for $150-160. Personally, I would prefer a C17 rust carved but obviously no availability. If I look at alternative suppliers then looking at $200+, so colour preference is not worth an extra $50 for me. @robert baldbloke do you have the carved or ordinary? I have been told the cutout does make it comfier.

I've got the carved but I can't compare it with the ordinary as I've not ridden on one.

I have the ordinary carved for me was too soft. With regards to colour I bought one of the first and if memory serves there wasn't a choice mine was that natural light colour, dyed it black fitted in better with the Mach's shadow look

I have the ordinary C15 in the natural colour. It now has a stain after a sweaty ride with newish bibshorts. Contemplating trying to remove the stain with a stain remover or maybe dying the saddle?

Just pulled the trigger on the C15 Rust from CRC. Mainly since I was going to go for one of the wiggle options, and they had suddenly become out-of-stock.
Also a $15 off voucher NEW10 showed up on my FB feed, so works out even cheaper, AUD130.

Now considering an upgrade again.
I find the Cambium C15 is good until 150km and usually fine up until 200kms, but last weekend was a bit painful from 150km-300km
Brooks B17 Imperial currently AU$124 at wiggle/CRC - might pull the trigger on it.

I think the extra width might make a huge difference. I have seen someone else's C17 and seems a lot better than my C15. A lot more give.

I've got C17s on both my road bikes and find them very comfortable. Then again, I don't do the distances you two do.
