Brooks Saddles B17 Special Bicycle Saddle (Copper Rails, Black Copper)
Brooks Saddles B17 Special is our flagship model, ideal for long distance sports touring, trekking and atb use. It has been on the market for over 100 years, being featured in as early as the 1898 catalogue. The frame is made of copper plated steel, and the black leather seat features hand hammered copper rivets. The saddle weighs 540 grams.
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.

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.

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 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...

Comfortable
Definitely served its purpose well. Was comfortable on mid range rides but not for anything more than 75 in my opinion

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.
