Product Description
The folks at Brookes Heritage Saddles have been producing the Mens B17 Standard Bike Saddle for over 100 years. Needless to say, they have a pretty good idea of what theyre doing. The durable full-grain leather cover keeps the B17 Saddle cool on especially warm days, and it will mold to your shape and riding style over months of use, providing you with maximum comfort and durability. This saddle features steel rails to absorb shock and reduce vibrations on rough roads or mountain passes. The abrupt taper between the rear and nose sections helps to eliminate inner-thigh rubbing and chafing, and the wide rear section lends support for your long rides.

After being away for about 8 years, don't ask me why, I decided to get back into cycling again, and bought a Trek 520, mostly for commuting, but plan to do some longer trips later. The saddle that came with the bike was so hard I hurt for a week after using it a few days, and stopped riding it. I looked into other saddles, found Brooks, and decided on the aged since I didn't want to ride a marathon to break it in. I have just installed it and I have only ridden a dozen miles on this saddle so far, and decided to write this now. There is no break in period, it feels great right from the start. I had to actually make myself think about the saddle I was sitting on, it was so comfortable from the get-go, that I almost forgot about it, which was good, as it allowed me to enjoy my ride more. This is one great all leather saddle, and I know I am going to enjoy it for many years to come. If and when I get another bike, I will order a Brooks before I even ride it.
The saddle comes with some leather string tied into the underside, like a shoelace, which as time goes on, you tighten it up a bit, plus a wrench to tighten the rear linear adjustment. You'll know when you get yours, but this adjustment needs very little at a time, if at all?
I bought the Proofride saddle dressing, or wax as I call it. You put it on the underside of the saddle and leave it, put a small amount on the sides and polish it off, but put none on the top. I do not know if this works, but even the bike shop said it was a good idea, so I will use it. Expensive for a small tin, but probably worth it.
One other thing, the saddle comes with a cover for when it rains, I didn't know this so it was a nice surprise as I wanted to get one. Glad I didn't order it ahead of time.
I loved August 1, 2010

This review is for the B17 Agged
I received yesterday and I was astonished Beatiful design, it looks like jewelry that I dont wan't to use it.
The box, the instrcuctions, everythink is A+
Is not a regular, comercial saddle Is a piece of art
Edit: Ago 10, 2010
I used for the first time. No words to describe how confortable it is I can't belive how can a hard saddle can be so confortable, and it was the first ride....
Believe me, I tried several saddles (se my reviews), Extra GEL, Gel, Leather hand made , and nothing I repeat nothing compares to this Saddle
As I sayed its á Jewelry
The Mercedes Benz, or Bently of the saddles
One tip: Never use gel shorts to ride long distances, the gel is the problem it smashes your but
 This is a good choice for long distance riding March 8, 2010

I drank the Brooks cool-aid several years ago. I find the saddle (B17 Std) to be very comfortable and have been very pleased with it. I did not find it necessary to break in the saddle, it was fine on day one. Come to think of it, I have ridden on a lot of saddles with no problems, so I might not be a super good judge with it comes to this aspect of saddle selection. I can tell you it looks good and it carries some prestige that you don't get with the other saddle choices. I ride a full on touring bike with front/rear racks, barcon shifters, ATB gearing, the works. I really had no choice; I had to get a Brooks didn't I.
