I was hoping they would break in much faster than that. I've managed about 30 miles on mine and my arse is killing me.

It's weird, I have had a few brooks saddles and I find the b17 super comfy after 2 or 3 rides (certainly under 100 miles).

You neeeeeed to use the goo though!

A common misconception amongst Brooks aficionados is the belief that the saddle is breaking in to suit the rider. Unfortunately, it is the other way round. :shock:

Seriously, it depends on your weight; B17s are for very light, thin riders only, IMO. I am not ashamed to ride with a B67 on my main bike. And they definitely aren't for everyone; I have a much narrower Specialised Body Geometry which I think is nearly as good.
