Brooks Saddles Leather Bicycle Grips (Honey)
Brooks Saddles Leather Grips are made of natural leather, the same long wearing leather used for our saddle tops. Each grip is made with a stack of leather washers cut from the scrap of our saddle tops. These washers are held together by 3 spokes, enabling the grip to be adjusted to the desired length. The standard length of each grip is 130 mm, but each grip can be shortened to the desired length independently. The grips are delivered in a box containing shorter 80 mm spokes to make them even shorter.
With so many on offer these days, it is great to have a name you can trust. This item is certainly that and will be a perfect buy. The distributor have added some great touches and this equals great value.

Nice, but...
Nice handles, but there are tiny little set screws that you have to tighten to get them to grip onto your bars. I had to turn them so tight to get them solid, that I stripped the set screws. I contacted Brooks and they wouldn't send me new screws. If I ever have to change them or tighten them, I'm 'screwed.'

super styley!
These grips are way grippier than i expected - a pleasant surprise. First and foremost i got them because they look flippin sweet. I was surprised at how bulky they are in my hand - but as I ride All Mountain it is suiting and I'm accustomed to it. Someone who is used to or expecing skinny grips may find these awkward. I don't, I'm stoked on them :)

The only downside I've found, as mentioned in other reviews here, is that the lock screws on the end cap rings are very weak! I stripped them out by gently trying to tighten them down. Not sure whats up with that.

I have only been out riding twice on them so far, so I haen't yet had a chance to really break them in, but so far I'm loving them!
Great Grips!
These are great grips, they look good and are very comfortable. I bought them for my commuter bike to match my Brooks Saddle. The only problem I have is that they seem to move a little. I may need to adjust them a little tighter, but the movement (just a milimeter or two) seems to come from the spokes (they use spokes to connect the fastners) and the metal fastners don't move at all, so it doesn't affect handling.

Wife likes it
I used to have a hard time getting my wife to go riding with me, she always complained about saddle discomfort. This saddle fixed all that. It will only get better with time as the leather breaks in. This wider saddle is for upright riding positions. If you have a road bike or a bike with a more aggressive riding position, the Brooks Flyer or Flyer S is a better choice.

Another Brooks Sadddle
There are few constants in this world that you can rely on but Brooks Saddles are one. This is my third Brooks, going back 38 years,this time fitting on my wife's vintage Raliegh Sport which I reconditioned. It looks terrific, she says it feels great already, but hasn't been on any long rides yet. I tell her if it feels good now it will only get better.
Incredible.
Wider than it looks on the photo, but it's a gorgeous saddle. Brooks is the best!

Brooks B17 Special Saddle -- excellent quality & comfort
I'm currently training for a brevet series and am starting to rack up the miles. I find that my B17 Special growning more comfortable with each passing day. It's narrow enough for fast spinning and supporative enough for long hauls. While the sweet spot in its tail section is wide and accomodating during tempos riding and climbs, you won't be able to shift your weight to its nose when the pace picks up, if that's your habbit. It just isn't designed for crit-style riding and its nose is just too narrow and unforgiving. For long-distance training, Century rides, trecking and touring, this saddle is wonderful!

My Favorite Saddle
I have been a serious cyclist for the past 14 years. I have tried a number of saddles and all have left me with a desire for more. I have been on a B-17 for the past three years and have been pleased with the fit and comfortable ride. Once you find the sweet spot for your sit bones, your butt becomes the least of your problems (as opposed to lungs and legs). My bike shop also provided me with Brooks bar ends which really helps make my bike look terrific. Long milage riders will appreciate Brooks. The only complaint I have is the rails are flared out which means my Topeak saddle bag doesn't attach easily. Small problem for so much comfort.
Beautiful Saddle
This is one beautiful saddle. Sure it is a bit hard at first, but after only four 30 minute rides it was already starting to fit great. The copper is also classy. I highly recommend this one.

Amazing Saddle!
I bought the apple green saddle and it is awesome. I'm a female so I wasn't sure this "standard" seat would be comfortable but it turned out to be one of the most comfortable seats I've ever owned. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because the color wasn't quite what it looked like in the picture. It's just a bit lighter. But over all, I love my Brooks Saddle!

Stop contemplating and just do it!
First to note I have owned a B17 before and already knew the feel of a Brooks saddle (*was on a stolen bike; hence replacement*). If that is in question, no doubt this saddle is perfect for just about anything. I commute and tour on my previous B17 and literally stopped wearing cycling shorts with pads because there was no need for them anymore. Romp pain goes way down with a Brooks. But back to the GREEN BROOKS SADDLE, it gives it just enough style to turn heads but while riding its like a dark horse of awesome. Already after a week of city miles on the saddle, it she already feels like we've been together for years. Has already been through snowy city streets and downpours. Haven't babied it. Solid as a rock. I always hear about people scared to get brooks wet...wrong. just keep your leather moist as in lather up some leather conditioner (don't forgot the bottom) every couple months, even longer sometimes. since it is brand new, still fresh to death.
b17
This is a beautiful saddle. The color in the provided image is a bit more lime green than the seat is in real life, though I don't agree with the other reviewer that it is "lighter". It was easy to install and was comfortable right off the bat. I'm excited to see what this feels like after it is broken in. Wish this came with the seat cover bag thinggy--as I've read some reviews on other colors of the B17 saddle and reviewers mentioned it came with it. That must be some sort of other kit, but this seat does not come with proofride or the cover.

The only reason I gave this four stars is the company that sells the seat. It took them a little over a week to mail it out to me, and only after I contacted them about it. It reached me within the time frame specified by Amazon but only because I live about 5 hours away from the shipping destination so it reached me the day after they shipped it. If I lived across the country it would have been much later. Also, I did not realize...

Good, but not for everyone, or every purpose.
The Classic Brooks B17 has a lot going for it. Mine is a Honey colored classic. It took me about 500 miles to break it in. I sped the process up with inundating in a substance I will not describe. I risked ruining the saddle, but the treatment seemed to set it in nicely. Be careful with advice to speed the break-in. You can ruin it. I'm a 165# male, FWIW.

The saddle for me, is very comfortable on the sit bones once it settles in. However, I recently changed my riding position, lowering my handlebar to a more aggressive stance, and I can no longer use it. I was recently 'fitted' by a professional to address other issues I was having on my bike.

Especially on the drops the Brooks caused problems. One one-hour ride and my 'taint, as they say, was screaming. It's a day after my ride and I still feel something a urologist could explain better than I. I've also had urological issues towards the ends of very long rides (60 miles and up) when your form and...

get this saddle and you will never look back
After being away for about 8 years, don't ask me why, I decided to get back into cycling again, and bought a Trek 520, mostly for commuting, but plan to do some longer trips later. The saddle that came with the bike was so hard I hurt for a week after using it a few days, and stopped riding it. I looked into other saddles, found Brooks, and decided on the aged since I didn't want to ride a marathon to break it in. I have just installed it and I have only ridden a dozen miles on this saddle so far, and decided to write this now. There is no break in period, it feels great right from the start. I had to actually make myself think about the saddle I was sitting on, it was so comfortable from the get-go, that I almost forgot about it, which was good, as it allowed me to enjoy my ride more. This is one great all leather saddle, and I know I am going to enjoy it for many years to come. If and when I get another bike, I will order a Brooks before I even ride it.

The saddle comes...
The all purpose B-17
I simply love my Brooks B-17s. Currently I have two and a third is on the way. I use them on my daily commuter bike, an old mountain bike converted a single speed town bike and my Bike Friday New World Tourist which has been to Mexico, the Bay Area, and most recently, Las Vegas. The one I've on order will grace the Rivendell Quickbeam being built even as I write.

Why the B-17?

Unfortunately the saddles supplied with most bikes are uncomfortable plastic shells with some padding thrown on them. The plastic shell has no give and the padding eventually bunches up and creases giving the saddle some very uncomfortable spots.

A leather saddle, the Brooks B-17, on the other hand will conform to the shape of the rider over time. And, because the leather is support in back and front, the saddle itself acts somewhat like a hammock to support the rider comfortably.

I've never needed to use specialized riding shorts on my Brooks, even for long 50+ mile...

The Swift is a slightly stiffer saddle, featuring partially cut-away flaps and is ideal for a road or mountain bike. This saddle weighs 495 grams.

nice
$ doesn't always = quality, but in this case... I'm satisfied. It took about 30 days before this thing became comfortable, but now when I go for rides, I'm truly happy. It's the difference between a wicker chair and a fine leather one in my opinion. I ride 150 miles non-competitively / week so comfort is more important than weight. Buy one if this is how you roll.

swift saddle
My first bike any value was an imported (handmade bicycle). Pretty much standard issue was a brooks saddle (antique brown: leather, of course!).

The bicycle and saddle have been with me for thirty years and the ride just gets better and better, because my brooks saddle has gotten better and better.

When I purchased my Trek portland I just couldn't find a saddle which provided the ride or beauty of my old brooks saddle. After finally settling on the brooks swift saddle (antique brown, surprise, )it seems that I picked up where I left off.

Buy the brooks kit for saddle maintenance (It will help the saddle conform to your unique anatomy) and you will never be disappointed. I do about 50 miles a ride and I am as comfortable as ever. No it is not the lightest saddle but it does get attention, and will not disappoint.
B15 Brooks Saddle
My first Brooks saddle. Always wondered what all the hoopla was about for this expensive saddle. Now I know. This is the most comfortable saddle I've ever ridden on. The extra expense and weight is well worth it. Great support for my middle aged sit bones. No more pain on century rides.
