Description: Brooks Genuine B17 Saddle, Distressed Brown Leather, Gold Rivets, England Brooks Genuine B17 Saddle, Distressed Brown Leather, Gold Rivets, England What makes this saddle special? What doesnt? Way back in 1866, a young man named John Boultbee Brooks first set about his trade as a leather goods maker in a suburb of Birmingham. About that time, chain driven bicycles were invented and he designed a leather saddle to replace the wooden ones being used. His family business grew until 1958 when in 1962 Raleigh acquired Brooks. But, by 1999, Brooks was forced to liquidate and almost closed its factory doors until Selle Royal (the Italian Saddle manufacturer that was partly responsible for Brooks demise) stepped in and purchased Brooks. However, this acquisition lead to a modernization of Brooks image without changing the core manufacturing principles of the company nor the quality of manufacturing techniques. Brooks saddles are well know for their durability and comfort. The break-in period of these saddles do take time, but, in time, the mold to individual body geometry and can provide some of the most comfortable miles you will feel. This saddle you are looking at has a vintage distressed leather look with the number 1J3 (2001 Jan3). This saddle will certainly turn heads and will make for a wonderful, classic restoration bike project. Tailwinds!

You’re a salty sea dog of cycling and you know what saddles feel best for you. If that’s the case, if it aint broke, don’t fix it. However, if you’re looking to start your journey, these tips will help you minimize mistakes in saddle comfort. Sit bones – measure yours. each saddle has a sweet spot where the bones aren’t hanging off the edge nor are they planted firmly on top. We’ll try to give you that sweet spot for each saddle. Padding – can be a good thing or bad. Too much can cause chaffing, too little can cause uncomfortable pressure points. Flexibility – stiff saddles allow for greater control and performance, but may lack comfort. Flexible saddles absorb bumps, but pedal power may struggle Saddle misconceptions A soft saddle is more comfortable, right? Not at all. It depends. Maybe you’ve ridden the stationary gym bike and they have the large padded saddles on them. You wish that your bike saddle had the same comfort. But, on the road, the dynamics are very different. Softer saddles make you bounce more which causes back problems, neck pain, shoulder pain, and also can be very fatiguing to your rear. Additionally, the added padding can cause increased chaffing. A streamlined hard racing saddle will make me faster, right? Again, no. Comfort dictates performance. If your tailbones are sore or you keep sliding forward or aft of your saddle, speed performance is severely restricted. Those few extra grams you’re saving mean nothing to the overall power loss you’re experiencing through discomfort.
