Brooks EnglandWomen's B17 'S' Standard Leather Saddle

In 1974 I was given a bicycle with a Brooks B17 saddle. Since then I must have cycled more than 250,000 miles on a succesion of bikes, but all with the original Brooks B17 (eventually) after trying more than 10 other saddle types, ranging in cost from over £100 down to about £20. Other saddles are fine for short rides or if you have very expensive padded shorts (although even then only for up to about 3-4 hours) Only the B17 stays comfortable, whether you are riding for 6, 7, or even 15 hours.My original 40-plus year old B17 is still not at the end of it's days, but the adjuster has now reached the end of it's travel and I had to take the plunge for a new one sometime. If you are any kind of serious cyclist, or just want to forget about your rear-end and concentrate on enjoying the ride, this is a joy to own, an investment, and exquisitely made... It probably weighs a fair bit more than the lightweight plastic and titanium creations you see on the all-carbon bikes that are common these days, but a few ounces has well under a single percent effect on climbing ability or endurance compared to the tremendous difference that 'forget your rear' comfort can make four or five hours into a long ride.

Lovely saddle, looks great and comfortable as a cyclist that often rides four times a day, no complaints

Good quality leather , very comfortable , nice colour

Very nice! I want to get another one but in black.

Have purchased my Brooks saddles before for myself and family. Always provide years of comfortable riding.

A bit stiff but it's leather so it's to be expected. Comes with the balm to help the "breaking" process and softens with time. Absolutely love it!

Comfy as

A really perfect saddle

Brooks B17 saddles are the best. They are the most The B17s is shorter in length than regular B17 and fits shorter riders better. They are even comfortable to ride wearing street clothes with seams.

Not only is this saddle absolutely beautiful, it is the most neutral saddle I’ve ever ridden in since I started cycling. I’ve put several hundred miles in on it and I don’t feel like it’s broken in yet, but it’s never been uncomfortable, even on long rides.The craftsmanship is top notch. I am also an equestrian and though it is a much sturdier, heavier leather than horse people typically use, it is the highest quality. I have no doubt this saddle will last a very, very long time.If you’ve been considering one, just do it. I wish I had one of these much sooner.

Una sella meravigliosa, col tempo si adatta alla tua forma rendendo la pedalata più gradevole e senza piaghe.

J’ai acheté cette selle pour mon louison Bobet, elle est d’excelente qualité, une fois bien réglée grâce aux tutos glanés sur YouTube elle ne fait pas du tout mal aux fesses très chouette je ne regrette pas du tout cet achat

Siempre ando con dolores de culo, asi que me recomendaron este sillin para recorridos largos. Lo compre para hacer el camino de santiago y perfecto, despues de hacer 100 km cada dia, al dia siguiente me podia sentar otra vez en el sillin sin ver las estrellas. Muy recomendable!
