Brooks B17 Saddle

Post by Farawayvisions »

Falling in love is one thing, falling in love with a leather saddle... well it's not that different.

LoL - Good to know there's still a place in someone's heart for a Brooks ;-)

That's a nice piece of writing if you don't mind me saying so, you should send it to Brooks they might give you a guest spot on their blog, like Bike Snob NYC.

I've got Brooks on both my bikes , I wouldn't describe them as armchair comfortable but they're better than anything else I've tried, at least they don't feel like

someones trying bash the base of your spine like my previous plastic saddles did and they are a nice tactile object right enough.

Thank you Colin54, I'm delighted you said so. Wouldn't it be cool to write for Brooks, thanks for the tip.

There's a place in mine, that's for sure. ;-)

I had a Brooks Colt on, tried about 5 or 6 different saddles, ended up putting the Brooks back on. I can't imagine not using it, after all that.
We'll always be together, together on electric bikes.
