An ideal saddle for commuting or touring use in the upright riding posture whether on city bikes, Dutch-style bikes, cargo bikes or upright touring bicycles. The B67 is made with a single rail for use with standard, micro-adjustable seatposts and vegetable tanned leather for flexible, hammock-like performance that will age beautifully over time, moulding to the shape of the rider. With laces for saddle tensioning, the saddle is finished with machined rivets and a black undercarriage.

MAINTENANCE

 

Our Aged leather is softer than our regular leather; we achieve this softness by adding a lot more moisturizer to the leather during its preparation (tanning) process. So, there is no need for a customer to add additional Proofide to the leather at all - or at least not for several years. The first use of Proofide could be done after 3-4 years of saddle uses and then afterwards revert back to every 6 months as with our other leather models Moreover, applying Proofide to Aged leather can actually be detrimental to the saddle; it carries the risk (in extreme cases, maybe) of making the leather too soft and so no longer firm enough to support the weight of its rider. Cyclists who do not have mudguards on their bicycle, or who drive frequently through water, do tend to put a one-off application of Proofide (and leave it on) on the underside of leather to act as a water barrier from splashing. This is acceptable to be done on the aged leather too.

F.A.Q.

 
Which is the right Brooks saddle for me?

Our leather saddles come in different shapes and styles depending on what kind of bike or riding position. For example, a wider saddle with springs is ideal for an upright, 90-degree posture. Middle widths are often used for touring or commuting when the spinal angle of the rider is in a 45 to 60 degrees position. As a general rule, the more athletic the riding position, the narrower the saddle.

Why do I need to break in my leather saddle?

New leather is tough because of the numerous treatments of the tanning process, as well as the moulding process done at our factory. This leaves the fibres very strong, but also quite rigid. “Breaking in” is the process in which the saddle leather becomes supple and more flexible. Time, effort and care hold the key to bringing your leather saddle to its best condition. Primarily through riding, the leather will mould to the shape of your anatomy and become more flexible. Over time, the natural movement of the leather will act like a hammock whilst riding. But be careful to make sure that the leather does not sag too low, as this will cause it to contact the metal structure and could lead to saddle failure, not to mention being uncomfortable, as you could be sitting on the upper rails of some models or even the seat post itself.
