preferably attached to a bike!
thinking of getting a brooks saddle for my inbred super commuter/tourer/townbike prior to a tour later this spring/summer
and im not sure whether to go for the B17, touring one, or the swift, as the setup on my bike is quite "forward" due to being tall, so not sure the wide back end would be much help
Brooks professional
They look shite. Always have, always will.
ugly and heavy, have no place on an MTB.
always used a brooks, but cant get on with em now for some strange reason.
the rails need to be made longer, to enable you to slide em back a bit........imho that is.
It's a Swift TI, don't like it much though, it looks crap.
Seeing them made on the recent BBC documentary 'ride of my life' I apprichiate them better seeing the work that goes into them. They just seem like an anachronism on new bikes. My girlfriend has one on her vintage Dutch bike, If I can work out how to uplaod pictures off my iPhone I will post one.
Olly - Do you have anymore pics of your bike?
is that a request, or someone getting tired of seeing my project.
im going to go with the first one, to massage my ego, and because people often seem to wonder about making a road inbred, but then they released the pompetamine...
then it got geared, for commuting to work...
and then it flat barred, and now its got some midge bars on, but i haven't ridden them yet, so cant tell you how they sit
the tyres are 28c i seem to recall, but i reckon 32's should fit ok.
if you want any specific pics, let me know.
Moulded to my ass!

postierich - your Brooks really looks ok on that bike.
Those saying they look shite, why do you think they look shite?
i was thinkign today, the only thing wrong with my inbred as a tourer, is the brake hose routing, which is a bit ugly from the non drive side.
better would be a third cable run under the BB for the brake, and maybe even two stops on the fork, one at the top, one at the bottom, for a cable disk.
mmmm, clean lines
yours looks rather tasty rich, not convinced about the new howies blue [?] paint job though.
They don't like the rain....
My latest toy and the saddle is a lot comfier than it looks and TBH getting comfier
I had to have the saddle professionaly re built after a crash that nearly wrote it off. Still not quite a comfy as I'd like but getting there.
swallow ti and black b17
black b17
brown b17 - comfiest of the lot - but does have about 10 times as many miles on it as the rest
