Brooks Saddle

Monday, December 22nd, 2008

There are some things in life that technology doesn’t improve on.  Some times we search and try many different so called improvements until we realize that somebody had the correct answer 100 years ago.

In my opinion one of those is the Brooks Saddle.

Over the last few years I have replaced the saddle on all my bikes with a Brooks B17.  You can read about the company here.

Some people think it is too heavy.   I think it is elegant and classic.  If somebody wants to quibble about the extra 8 ounces let them.  I can ride with this saddle with regular shorts and feel fine.

This is a saddle that gets more beautiful with age.  And with a little care will out last your bicycle.
