Wonderful saddle great customer service!

I've run many a saddle on several bikes and on three different bicycle tours. I've even owned a Brooks B67 a few years before this. I'm not a fan of leather saddles after owning it. This however is the Brooks to get if you don't like the maintenance issues with any of the Brooks leather saddles. It's probably the most comfortable saddle I've ridden and I've ridden a number of them. Sure it doesn't have the padding that many saddles do, nor the gel padding that others do. Where this saddle lacks padding it has more flex than others due in part to it being made from vulcanized rubber. Yes, vulcanized rubber. But don't let it fool you. This is a very well made and durable saddle. My only skepticism is that the rubber is vulcanized in Italy since Sele Italia bought Brooks a couple years back. Though the rubber is vulcanized outside of England, I'm assuming the saddle was finished in England. The rivets that hold the rubber on the saddle look as if they were done by Brooks themselves and the quality of the build is top notch as one would expect from Brooks. I've been riding this saddle for a few months now and haven't missed the previous saddle yet. I even rode this during a downpour. Here's were other saddles just don't stand up as they are made from synthetics. And even leather saddles will require maintenance after being in this kind of weather. This saddle took it all in stride and didn't show any signs of problems. Of course being built from vulcanized rubber makes this virtually waterproof. If you have thought about buying a Brooks B17 "Bomber" which is the classic Brooks touring saddle but don't want the maintenance issues that come with it, this is the saddle to buy. Same shape and dimensions as the B17, a little less costly, and a great saddle all around.

I bought this saddle as I started commuting to work and wanted a good quality waterproof alternative to my 'cheap but functional' existing saddle. It has not disappointed. The saddle looks great, the surface is slightly textured which helps to prevent slipping forward, the cut is excellent, providing sufficient seating area in all positions without being intrusive to the inner leg. Unlike the Full Leather Brooks there is no adjustment required and it is not possible to change the tension of the saddle; that said the tension of the saddle is spot on with the saddle both supporting the rider in comfort and smoothly soaking up minor vibration, road noise and potholes. I have no reservations in recommending this product, after several hundred miles it is one of the best saddles I have ever had.
