Brooks B17 Standard Saddle (British Racing Green Limited Edition)
type: Product
description: Limited Edition Brooks B17 Standard in Racing Green. "The reality is, the saddle is the part of the bike with which we share our most intimate contact, and it’s worth getting right. While it may not be cheap, the upside is that many of the most useful saddles are also the best looking. Further, like anything that’s going to be touching your privates, it’s worth shelling out for." Amen. That's an excerpt from our buddy Pops Jr.'s True Facts About Saddles, a highly recommended read if you still need to be convinced of the merits of riding a Brooks B17. We love a good Standard B17. They're more durable than any other well recognized brand of leather saddle. They come in nice classic colors. The Brooks B17 is still made in England, in a mid century factory. The leather is veggie tanned, rather than chrome tanned, the former of which is a much more ecologically sound way to do leather tanning. Still made in England, using thick leather tops and beefy steel rails. And unlike most saddles out there, Brooks leather saddles are semi-easily repaired, and many repairs we can do in house. Usually if you have a saddle with a major issue, it’s trash. Not so a Brooks. We can add new rivets, repair cracked leather, and repair heavy sagging. If a repair goes beyond that, we have a place we send it to for bigger repairs. You want to run it with your handlebar tops anywhere from 1cm below to 5 cm above the top of the saddle. If it you bend over more than that, say on a race bike, it’ll be uncomfortable, you’ll get pressure, and you’ll think it’s the saddle’s fault. It’s not, it’s the bar height’s fault. If your saddle and bars are set up right, the saddle is good right out of the box, but gets BETTER as you ride and sweat in it, and break it in. It’ll eventually form to your sit bones, like a good hiking shoe. Just like with a good hiking boot though, that doesn’t happen over night, so just enjoy the saddle as it is until that happens. You don’t need to wear cycling shorts with a Broo…
