## Overview

The Brooks England Women's B17 'S' Standard Leather Saddle is a century-old classic designed for long-distance touring and trekking.

## Description

B17 is Brooks' flagship model, suitable for long distance sports touring, trekking and MTB use. It has been on the market for over 100 years, being featured in as early as the 1898 catalogue. The Standard models feature black steel rails and tubular rivets. This is a ladies version. It is made in England.

Review: Some Designs simply cannot be improved - 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.
Review: Beautifully manufactured saddle - Have purchased my Brooks saddles before for myself and family. Always provide years of comfortable riding.
