Thinking about changing the seat from a Brooks Flyer to a Brooks B67. Changing the riding position to a more upright posture.
As well as looking to get a bigger seat for more support on the posterior.Any feedback and pictures from users?

I use a B66S which is the same saddle as the B67 but uses the proprietary Brooks clamp which required me to get a new seatpost when I swapped it onto my current Breezer step-through. I like the springs, it’s the only suspension on my bike, took a few goes to get the seat angle right for me. This photo shows the saddle angle.

This photo is a bit crap but shows the saddle angle. Apologies for the rather busy seatpost which has a weehoo attachment point over an additional QR clamp on the seatpost required to raise the weehoo bar to clear the rear rack.

Feedback on your opinion of the saddle?
 
I weigh 230lb and find it comfortable. The leather is a bit shiny and slippery at first, but would not be a problem with chamois shorts. The springs are a little creaky but work well. Have not felt the need to proofide it in 2 years of use but I keep it in a shed overnight. No sign of saddle rot or corrosion on the metal fittings despite the torrid humid summers we get in the DC area.
 
Thanks! I have used Nikwax several times on the Flyer, but winter snow and slush with a lack of fenders put the leather to the test in these conditions.
