  Product Description
Brooks is probably one of the best known brands of bicycle saddles, with a glorious history and a dedicated number of followers.

The Brooks B17 Standard Saddle is Brook's flagship model, ideal for long distance Trekking and MTB use.

Special edition color British Racing Green / Copper. Features Full Leather design with brass rivets and a tension adjuster. Considered by many, the Brooks B17 saddle is the most comfortable saddle available. Fits all standard road or mtb seatposts.

The World Famous Brooks B17 Standard Saddle is manufactured completely by hand in their facility in England and all of the component parts of a Brooks saddle are manufactured in house. The leather is received in hide form, each piece measuring approximately 30 by 50 inches. 'Blanks' are then cut from the leather, immersed in water and formed under extreme pressures to achieve the tops. During this process the blanks are also submitted to varying temperatures in our huge ovens.

The springs and frames are received in wire form on drums weighing up to half a ton. An array of machines are utilized to manipulate such wire into the desired component, whether it be a frame or the stranded coils, used on the B33 for example. The backplate arrives as flat sheet metal and undergoes a number of presses and cuts to achieve its form.

The component parts are then assembled by hand to achieve the finished saddle. Many of the models are still hand – riveted, a skill in itself, and Derek Gardener, at the grand old age of 71, still attends Monday to Friday mornings to ply his well honed trade. The whole process of manufacturing a single saddle can take up to 90 days.

We should like to impress upon all riders the great advantages, both in power and comfort, that are derived from a saddle meticulously handcrafted by technicians who have honed over 130 years of saddle making experience. The Brooks policy is, and has been since the firm was founded in 1866, "Quality First".

A saddle manufactured from leather, is the only saddle that will anatomically form to the contours of your body and become a truly 'custom fit'. Your saddle will marry itself to your unique sit bone position and will become as unique to you as your fingerprint. Given time your saddle will, very much like a quality pair of leather shoes, fit like a glove. As with shoes any quality leather saddle will require a break-in period, after which time they'll reward you with many years of loyal service becoming so comfortable that you'll wish you had discovered the brand earlier.

  Product Questions & Answers

Question:
Will the Brooks B-17 Standard Saddle work with the I- Beam Seatpost?

Answer:
No, standard railed saddles only work with standard seatposts; I-Beam saddles will only work with I-Beam seatposts. The I-Beam system uses an integrated composite base and clamping area to eliminate popped and bent rails forever while shedding weight.
