An Excellent Bicycle Saddle By freesoma on - Updated Oct 15, 2011
The Brooks B-17 Narrow saddle is a very well constructed bicycle saddle for anyone that is looking for something unique, long-lasting, and comfortable.
The saddle itself is made of leather and the rails are constructed of high quality metal. The B17 Narrow model has a slightly more narrow width than the normal B17; it feels like more of a racing saddle.
The best thing about Brooks leather saddles is that when they are taken care of they will last for years and years. The comfort increases with use; the leather begins to form to the user's shape and provides great support. Another great thing about this saddle is that it looks very stylish! The leather is smooth and the color options are all beautiful. The steel rivets are a nice touch and add to the style and quality of the construction.
Brooks saddles are not for everyone but I recommend that all bicycle enthusiasts give them a try.

Brooks bike saddles are simply the best. They take a while to get them molded to your own personal shape, but once you do you will take this saddle from bike to bike. My husband and I both have them. His finally wore out after 30 years. Mine is still ok, but my road bike needs serious repairs. If you are planning a long road trip you would do well to consider a Brooks, and allowing a couple of months to get it broken in before you leave.
