Brooks

Brooks started producing bicycle saddles in Smethwick, Birmingham in 1882. By 1922, the Brooks B17 became the benchmark racing saddle for professional riders, and by the 1930s and 40s, Brooks saddles were the exclusive perch for the professional peloton. In 1937, Brooks happily pointed out that every single rider at the Tour de France in the previous year had used one of their “comfort” saddles. Fausto Coppi and Eddy Merckx used to keep their Brooks saddle from one season to the next, but changed bikes each year, something anyone that's ever owned one will understand.

Brooks bicycle saddles have a reputation for comfort and beauty that has been earned in over a hundred years of continuous production. A Brooks saddle is a British design classic, and the only choice for a truly beautiful bicycle.
We are stocking 2 of Brooks' most iconic designs, the B17 and Swallow, along with a well chosen range of complimentary accessories. Each saddle is made from start to finish by hand and takes 3 days to produce. Once worn in, and with the right maintenance, a Brooks saddle is the most comfortable saddle you will ever have the pleasure of sitting on. In the companies own words 'It is not the name of Brooks which makes the saddle good, but the saddle and its excellence which makes the name supreme.'
