Brooks B17 First Thoughts

Lovely looking saddle that!

I've had a Brooks saddle for some years now and swapped it across a number of bikes. I tried a few versions of it and the one I settled on is the Brooks Flyer - it has springs at the back which adds some suspension - especially useful on a Brompton.

Pick it up from the frame where the Brompton sticker is. That’s what I did when I had a B17 Flyer Select. I now run a Specialized BG 143 saddle. As the Brooks started to split under my left sit bone and began to crack after 9 yrs, despite following the Proofhide care regime to the letter.

With leather you kind of have to adapt your care pattern to the weather conditions you put it through.

just give it time and you will get your reward 😉, never seen this saddle before now so might give it a go 🙂
