I don't have an answer. I went with the B17 imperial and like it. Maybe someone else has some suggestions. Different body types need different saddles.

The STI shifters installed were not cheap but Drummond Cycles who installed them did a great job. They work very well without a glitch.

I bike to work 3 or 4 days or evenings a week. I have lights and racks on my bike so carrying clothing is not a problem. My shift either starts at 0600 and goes to 1400 or from 1400 to 2400. I love riding at night except I do not on Friday and Saturday nights. I seen to many drunk drivers over the years. Round trip is about 10.6 miles.. Living in NH I ride in the winter as long as it is not snowing or forecast-ed to snow. I wear a wool cap under my helmt, face mask, lobster gloves and several layer of clothing in the winter. We have some good hills on the way to work.

I have a sojourn. I really like it. The handle bars did not fit me so I went to a traditional drop with STI shifters. I purchased it last September and have been riding it a lot since. It is not the fastest bike climbing but I can climb anything it is geared low enough. I am leaving in Sept. for a trip from NH to AL..
I purchased it as it had the most features I waned one of them being the disk brakes. I ride no matter what the weather, snow, rain, sleet and I have found the disk brakes to be the most reliable in bed weather.

I have Ortliebs and use them every day as I commute to work. I bring my equipment to work with me. Last week I filled them up with magazines and transported them to the recycling center. Handled all that weight with out a problem. Very easy on and off. I purchased my in bright yellow. They are very visible.
