About this product
This Brooks B17 Leather RoadBike SADDLE is a vintage-inspired racing style seat made from leather, designed for unisex adults. It is compatible with a wide range of vintage bikes including Schwinn, Raleigh, and various tour bicycles from the 1940s through the 1990s. The saddle features standard 7 x 7 mm rails and is available in Black or Softened Tan. It is marketed as a durable and classic part, suitable for road, mountain, and cruiser bike types, emphasizing its historical appeal and quality construction.
Our take
The Brooks B17 is a legendary saddle, and this vintage-style leather version lives up to its reputation for classic appeal. The choice between Softened Tan and Black is nice, allowing for some personalization. As a racing style saddle, it's built for performance, and the leather material means it will break in and conform to the rider over time, offering a personalized fit that modern saddles often lack. The standard 7x7mm rails make it compatible with most seatposts. Given its vintage focus, it's best suited for riders who prioritize traditional craftsmanship and the distinctive feel of a leather saddle over ultra-lightweight contemporary designs. The price is substantial, but you're paying for a time-tested design.
