Brooks England Men's B17 Saddle

Product Information

But the Professional (introduced in 1963) and the Pro Select were based on the B17 Competition but with larger rivets. With vegetable tanned leather treated with special waxes for more supple performance straight out of the box, the B17 Softened is fitted with eyelets to be laced to the desired tension and to preserve the saddle shape. In line with Brooks' current policy of looking through the back catalogue for items that might please the contemporary audience, the concept and design of the Imperial date from around 1890, making it possibly the first-ever cycle saddle manufactured with a large hole in the middle to relieve 'perineal pressure'.

New leather is tough because of the numerous treatments of the tanning process, as well as the moulding process done at our factory. I am concentrating on repairing hub gears and can be contacted by anyone who has hub gears that need attention.It’s not just about reaching your destination but appreciating the journey and wanting to do it repeatedly; our Brooks Male Saddle will make you want to hop on your Brompton day in, day out. A new saddle should be treated at least once to help to assist the ‘breaking-in’ process and protect the saddle against the elements. Finally, keep in mind that, in occasional cases, your package may be delayed by customs and subsequent charges may apply.

The badges on the rear have changed too – early examples had a lovely fretted badge and in the 1960s there was even a period when no rear badge was fitted. The main design of the Brooks badge embossed on the side flaps has just had three major changes though of course there have been many little detail modifications.From your local crag to the summit of Everest, at Tiso, you’ll find the climbing and mountaineering equipment you need. Comfort and style like this encourage more regular riding, meaning more opportunities for exploration, spontaneity, and independence. Ich vermisse etwas die Schnürung der Sattelränder, mit der sich das breiter werden und das Einfedern regulieren lässt, so wie auf meinem 10 Jahre alten B 17 in braun.
