I have a Swift, a Team Pro, and a B.17 Narrow. The Swift required a quick
replacement for an irregularly shaped one, but the second one was extremely
comfortable out of the box (after several tweaks to get the seatpost level
right, and has been wonderful on a 75-miler, and several metric centuries).
I am more stretched out on the bike with the Swift. The B.17N has the
thickest leather of the three (and is the least broken in), but has been
comfortable on rides of 50 miles. The ride position is less stretched out,
but still in the drops. The Team Pro is the widest of the three, and works
well with a slightly more upright riding position, usually on the brake
hoods. I like riding each of them, and I especially like the way they look.
None has been uncomfortable, even from the beginning.
