Hi. Having decided to cherish my old but immaculate Pioneer Trail rather than upscale, my mind has turned to the question of saddles. At the moment I'm doing a leisurely 10km every couple of days, so nothing earth shattering, but I've fancied a Brooks saddle ever since starting riding again...

For Sale: Brooks Flyer Special in Brown. Treated underneath and used on a display bike only. Comes in its' original box. Everywhere seem to be out of stock atm. £95 posted to standard UK post codes. I know it won't be cheap to post (Post Office saying between £8 - £10 with a signature)...

SOLD Came with a bike I bought. Looks unused. Seller insisted only done 300 miles in 8 years. Looking at the bike and saddle more like 3 miles. £42 posted via Hermes.

Long story, but I have been swapping saddles on a few bikes recently. It left my Raleigh Competition without a saddle, so I started browsing eBay but people want too much for old tatty Brooks saddles. So I thought it may be an idea to have a go at renovating an old B15 which I picked up a few...

The tension nut on my road bike’s B17 slowly turns under tension - and my weight - resulting in excessive sagging. Any tips to stop this?

I bought a Sun Snipe Bike in 1962. It was fitted with a Brooks B17 saddle which outlived the bike by many years and has been in more or less constant use on a series of other bikes for almost 60 years . Sadly however I think it has come to the end of the road as the leather has started to split...

Can you beat a Brooks saddle ? Well - It's looks like you can. This Brooks B5N was fitted to my Carlton road bike in the early 1970s (possibly the 1960s). I soon got used to it and used it for years, until the bike got laid up in the garage about 35 years ago. A friend of mine had borrowed it...

Impulse buy that now will not get any use. Tiny mark on the front from a note stuck to it with sellotape otherwise in perfect condition, it still has that beautiful leather smell. It has a separate padded laptop compartment, I had planned to use it for daily commute but my circumstances have...

Treated and fitted but never used. I've sold my touring bike and this, sadly has to go as it just won't suit my MTB. New & boxed. It took me ages to get hold of this as everyone is out of stock even when they say they aren't ! Collection preferred but I will post to standard UK post codes...

Would anyone know the age of this Brooks B90/3 saddle please. Not seen the Brooks logo written like this so guessing it’s an early one?

While browsing in one of the local bike shops that sell used bikes from Europe and the US I spied a very dirty and dusty Brooks saddle. I asked the owner how much he wanted for it and he said 2Ocedis (about £3) so I took it. It’s a Swift, but the sides seem to have moved out a little. Can this...

A few months ago I decided to try out a Brooks Flyer on my hybrid bike, having previously had a B17. It was fine at first, but recently had developed a horrible, loud, creaking noise from (I think) the springs. I've tried a bit of oil but it seems to make no difference. Is this normal for...

For Sale: My Brooks B17 Special Titanium version with Ti rear saddle loops. Never been adjusted. Always used Brooks Proofide on it. It looks black in certain light but it's Chestnut Brown. It's in lovely condition with a few marks and a slight scuff when my bike got caught in the wind as I...

I use my Dawes Fox to commute during these sunny days, but having been so used to the B.17 on my 'regular' commuting bike, in comparison, the Viscount VRT on my Dawes is now less than comfy over distance. :dry: As the Dawes is only used during the summer on alternate weeks, there's no point in...

I'm fitting a brand new black Brooks Swift saddle to my restored Holdsworth Mistral and must confess I've never owned a Brooks.........would be very grateful for advice on any pre-treatment to the leather that will improve water resistance and perhaps help "break in." I've a horrible feeling the...

Anyone tried one? How comfy are they? Durability? All feedback gratefully received...

As anyone got for sale a Brooks Hoxton basket Thanks

I bought a Brooks Swallow to compliment the build I did of a Classic Raleigh frame. I chose it based on its width being basically the same (153mm v 155mm) of my Specialized Romin Evo Pro; a saddle that was chosen (with guidance) as suiting my arse and riding profile. The thing is, with less...

The Brooks Ladies Standard B17S in tan leather with black rails is in really good condition, has been used but not a lot. The adjuster remains in original position,no stretched leather etc. Great saddle in a great colour that would complement any bike. Comes with that nice little adjusting...

Tear right through to underside, not a surface crack (which will usually heal with Proofide and use). Ebay photos didn't show it clearly and it's not mentioned in the description.

Hi Guys Recently invested in a Brooks saddle for my bike. After a few hundred miles riding, this is now becoming very comfortable and my ass is very glad of it! Now to balance the look of the bike and to obey Velominati Rule#8 i would like to add the matching Brooks leather bar tape. Pricing...

Brooks Cambium C15 Natural Rubber Saddle. Slate Grey (carved) and Natural Both in Good Used condition and very comfortable (I just slightly preferred the C17) Natural £50 inc P&P Slate £55 inc P&P

My brooks Flyer has arrived. Happiness reigns. Next question: is it wise to put it on the bike ready for a hopefully 100k ride on Wednesday? On the one hand I don't have a Brooks shaped backside, but on the other my last saddle broke in way faster as soon as I started making longer rides...

Brooks C15 saddle. used condition, 2nd class postage included in price £65

What alternatives are there to the Proofhide for Brooks saddles? The stuff Brooks sell seems very pricey but there must be people putting wax into leather that isn't Brooks approved. Any suggestions?
