I got two c19s earlier and they’re fantastic. Looking to try a c17 just to see if I like it better on the roadie.

Thanks!

I have that exact model that I've been thinking of selling. I bought it for my Clem, but found it to be painful in that upright riding position. Maybe I needed the C19. I've ridden it about two times, not a scratch on it. How does $70 shipped sound?

Maybe you two could swap!?

Personally, I've found for me the normal C-17 Allweather more comfortable than the carved. Not sure why; maybe they beef up the carved to compensate for the hole?

I had someone tell me they thought the carved was more comfortable, because they thought the cutout gave it more flex. But I found it to be incredibly unforgiving, so you may be correct. For now, I'm happy with my WTB Volt.
