Hi my wife and i just bought new bikes, one of the selling points for us were the beautiful B67 saddles that came with the bikes. We´re new to the Brooks thing but i see little bits and pieces of information suggesting we need to put creams and things on them and do maintanence to them. Please be so kind as to advise me where we can read about this Thanks!

Have recently bought a B67 with single rail for my new Chas Roberts bike and now it is almost broken in, it is shaping up to become a favourite just like my other two B66 saddles. I have ridden this pattern of Brooks saddle since 1978 both for utility cycling and longer tours. I would not dream of using anything other than a leather saddle. Like one of your other contributors, I've been irritated by saddle squeak which I managed to cure with proofhide on the under side of the seat and a good squirt of WD40 around the spring unit - result silence for the last 300 miles and long may it last. All my husband's and our family's bikes have Brooks saddles including several B17s and one old but until recently unused B15.
I recently bought a B67 for my hybrid city bike. I'm not an avid cyclist like many of your customers, just someone who uses his bike for short city rides to shops, to meet friends, and to use the car less, etc. One of the only things I didn't like about my present bike was the very comfy looking, but quite uncomfortable stock seat. Then one day I was in a cycling shop and noticed that they carried Brooks saddles and on an impulse bought the B67. No padding, no gel, no 21st century technology -- but what a difference! Even before breaking it in, it was a pleasure to use. And it's given my fairly ordinary hybrid bike an air of sophistication, too! I love it.
COMMENT > Last year I bought B 67 saddle. I can say that it is very firm and hard to break in. Although I am not heavy, I suppose it had to be broken much sooner. So as regards comfort it has not proven very good for me.
REPLY > Did you apply Proofide? Did you adjust it properly? If your problem is that it has not shaped to your anatomy, maybe try to moisturize it and ride on it. It might help to get your shape. Before doing so, do not put Proofide.
This is the saddle I ride on my commuter, on which I have installed Nitto Promenade handlebars. I really can't imagine riding any other saddle for the purpose: This one is plush, but not inordinately cushy. It absorbs much of the shock my urban commute dishes out. Plus, it has a neat vintage look and feel. By the way, I am the proud owner and rider of two other bikes. Both are Mercians. And both sport honey Team Pro saddles with copper rails. I guess you could call me a "Brooks Babe."
I have been riding on Brooks saddles since 1976. I am 72, I now have a B33 on one bike and a B67 on another. Both are so comfortable I can't decide which one I like better. A few years back I decided to try the new "Modern" seats. Went through 5 before I gave up and came back to Brooks. Do wish you could design the B33 so as to fit to the new style seat post. That would be really nice
I recently purchased a Brooks B67 saddle for my elderly Dawes Galaxy as the saddle which I bought with it was very uncomfortable. The new saddle was carefully broken in in accordance with your instructions. I am writing to let you know that I used it on a 3 week, 520 mile cycle holiday in the south of France earlier this month and found it a great success. I am 63 years old and have come rather late to cycle touring but your saddle certainly proved its worth for a man of my age and tonnage. We cycled between 25 and 40 miles a day over varying types of terrain, with full panniers and campng gear aboard the bike but at no time during the trip did I experience any Moscow Syndrome i.e. numbski bumski - as experienced with the 'modern' saddle on my second bike - even after a ride of some 50 miles. The saddle required some tensioning when I got home but that was all apart from a dressing of polish. The saddle has definitely improved my enjoyment as I no longer suffer any discomfort. It was well worth the cost of purchase. I have already recommended it to another cyclist of my vintage. Thanks very much. Yours faithfully Phil Chester
Dear Sirs, I am writing to let you know how very pleased I am with a B66 saddle that I bought yesterday. I had a Raleigh Superbe cycle in 1952 fitted with an identical saddle and it is fascinating to find that the quality of the new one is exactly as I remember the earlier one. Even the box and the enclosed leaflets are works of art. I had no idea that you still made such a range of traditional cycle accessories - my next purchase is likely to be a Millbrook Holdall. Also, you are to be congratulated on your excellent website where I have just spent a very enjoyable half-hour. With Thanks, Yours faithfully, Tony
In 1989 I did a Bicycle Tour in the Cotswolds with an organized tour group-based in New York. I'm from New Jersey. The rest of the group -about a dozen all together -were from all over the USA and had hired their bikes. I met them at Heathrow sans bike. I wanted a Raleigh 3 speed to use then take home. The bike I bought was a Raleigh Courier. It came with dynamo lighting and a carrier-which I used after the 9 day tour to hold my luggage. The seat was a padded vinyl covered plastic thing and not all too comfortable. I had a Dawes Galaxy back home with a Brooks Professional on it. Two years later I went to pick up the bike by its plastic seat and managed to crack it in the process! I couldn't get a Brooks B66 over here at the time so I wrote to the shop I purchased the bike from in Oxford. He sent me a catalogue. WHAT A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT!! 15 years on and many miles of riding including the New York 5 Boros Tour at least a half dozen times and other tours it is still on the bike! Since then I just took delivery of a Millbrook Saddle Bag! Brian
Hello Everybody, I am so satisfied with my BROOKS. I am planning a trip from Holland to Southern French sponsored by BEIXO. Of course I need a good saddle so I tried every saddle there was on the market, but left the BROOKS on the shelf. Just couldn' t believe that this relative cheap and hard leather saddle can save me from my bottom and knee pain that I have during training. After I tried almost every hightech gel and....... saddles, I just end by the BROOKS. I thought OK lets try it there is no options left. And what do you think happens? I think I don' t have to tell that. My pain was gone from the moment I sat on this old mirakel. Just want to say thanks and watch my track on www.beixo.com Best regards Servan Schreiber
I got a Brooks B67 saddle a few weeks ago and I must say that I am loving it! I have had no end of problems trying to get a saddle that suited my backside. The saddle that came on my last bike actually caused me a pelvic sprain by pushing my seat-bones apart! I tried those GEL saddles. They are okay if you are only going to ride for about 20 minutes. My bicycle is made for commuting AND long-distance touring. Only a few weeks after using the B67, my backside was singing because no more was I suffering from pressure in the softer parts of my nether regions, and the springs just ironed out all the annoying little bumps and jolts in the road. I am looking forward to a long-distance tour on my new B67. It is really quite astonishing how comfortable they are! My friends poke it with their fingers and say that it is hard and can't be comfortable, but I tell them that I happily spend all day riding with it under my backside. I run my bicycle lock through the frame of the saddle because I don't want it stolen. Thieves can have the rest of my bicycle - I want to keep that saddle!
I have ridden leather saddles since I was a high school student in the late 1970's. My meager allowance at the time forced me to retrofit my older sister's JC Penney ten-speed with swapped-in parts from the town dump in Gresham, Oregon. Consisting mostly of old cars, the dump also kept two barrels of bike parts in the back and the manager allowed me to rummage through them periodically. In the barrel one day, I found an old, weather-beaten Brooks saddle. I took it home for the grand sum of fifty cents, cleaned it off with a wire brush and applied some of my mom's Mink Oil to soften it up. A few days later I put it on my bike and was surprised at how confortable it was! I scavenged the dump regularly until I went away to college and came up with two more leather saddles, which I put away for future use; these saw me through college and graduate studies. Years later, I am now a bicycle mechanic in Portland, Oregon. Every one of my three bicycles is outfitted with a Brooks leather saddle (a road bike and a citybike both use B17 S; the folder has a B67 S). Nicest of all has been the opportunity to get family members to try and switch to Brooks saddles. My partner, who had ridden vinyl saddles her whole life and found them lacking, tried a B67 S this year. On a recent group ride of 30 miles, she exulted, "Finally, this is the right saddle for me! We've gone thirty miles and my butt doesn't hurt!" My sister had joined us on the same ride and told me afterwards that she needed to find another saddle if she was to go on these longer rides with us in the future. I saved up and bought her a B67 S for her bike. Word is still out but I expect to hear a positive report soon. Thank you for making some of the most comfortable saddles ever. Please don't stop.

Q > Hi there - have you ever make one of these in green? I'm looking to match my new leather grips
A > We don't really plan on offering the B67 in green.
Hi, I was always very content with my Brooks which I bought from a friend about ten Years ago until this morning on my way to work through a snowstorm the Metal under the leather cover broke. Can you repair it?
answer - All Brooks saddles may be repaired, please visit the Getting in Touch section of this website!
Q > I recently bought a Pilen Swedish Classic bike. It rolls silently and like a dream, however, the B66 saddle makes a lot of noise during riding, probably coming from the springs and suspension. Is this normal and acceptable?
A > Some squeaking can happen. It is normally due to the rubbing between the leather top and the metal parts, either on the nose or on the back plate. Try to put some Proofide where you believe the squeaking is coming from.
The Classic range includes many of our best selling models for the modern cyclist, since all saddles have single rails and are thus compatible with micro-adjust seat posts. The B17 is the most popular saddle in the BROOKS Classic range. It is certainly the oldest Brooks model and longest living saddle in cycling history. This icon has been sold as far back as 1896 and for over a century never went out of production. Most of these models are available also in the Aged and Imperial lines.
