England Brooks England Saddles Men's Imperial B17 Standard Bike Saddle with Hole and Laces, Antique Brown

I first bought a Team Pro Imperial (Honey Brown) a couple of months ago to replace another saddle I had been using on my Cannondale R1000 road bike. It felt great from the first time I rode using it. I treated it per the instructions before installing it on my bike. With some bar tape to match it has a great vintage look and is very comfortable. My second ride with it was a mountainous metric century and I finished it with absolutely no discomfort from the saddle! I have been rebuilding an old touring bike and needed a saddle for it. Since the Team Pro worked so well I decided to order another Brooks saddle. My only fault (sort of) with the Team Pro is that there are no eyelets nor other good way to tie a tool bag to the seat. So, I ordered a B17 Imperial in standard width and brown color. Dimensions are very similar to the Team Pro but the frame has eyelets for my toolbag. One of the first things that I noticed is that the leather on the B17 is noticeably thinner than the leather on the Team Pro. That makes the seat a bit more flexible and I guess it will be "broken in" a bit quicker than the other saddle. As with the first saddle, it was comfortable from the first time I sat on it. That makes the break in time a non-issue for me. I am very pleased with both of my Brooks saddles. They are a bit more comfortable for me than the "men's anatomic saddles" that I had been using previously. There have been no perineal issues for me which can make a huge difference in whether a saddle works for long hours on the bike or not. I would not hesitate to buy another one in the future.

Produit de très bonne qualité ! En achetant cette selle, j' ai eu un doute car sur l'une des deux photos de la selle couleur marron/brun, c'est le modèle B17 S pour femme qui est présenté. Rien de bien méchant vue que le modèle reçu est bien le modèle homme. En ce qui concerne le confort, je le trouve très bon même au début. Bon c'est vrai que c'est un chouia dur mais après seulement 140 bornes, il y a déjà deux bon renfoncement au niveau de mes ischions. Après il parait que j'ai '' les os du c** pointu " mais je sais pas vraiment si ça joue. Je mesure 1m75 pour environ 68 kilos. Le trou pour soulager le périné a l'air de parfaitement remplir sa fonction, plus de douleur a ce niveau. Je verrai bien sur le long terme. Comparait on mon ancien selle en gel D4 c'est un vrai fauteuil. Les trous pour enfiler les lacets sont très bien et pour ma part j'en ai attaché 2 ensemble pour pouvoir remonter jusqu'au dernier trous de l'assise ( pas du bec ) car je trouve le soutient meilleur a ce niveau. N'oublié pas enregistré vous sur le site de brooks pour voir la garantie s'étendre jusqu'a 10 ans. Tout est expliqué dans le petit livre envoyé avec le colis le tout écrit en français. Je recommande donc ce produit et merci a toi Marguerite de t'être sacrifié pour que l'humain puisse assoir son postérieur confortablement .... désolé ...

Estou me acostumando com ela, mas sem dúvida é uma peça icônica, feita a mão com muita destreza.

I’m still breaking it in but it’s looking good and already as comfortable as the seat I had before. Will buy another for my other bike.

Nel giro di 70 80 km era già molto comoda..anche da nuova non male, credo che tra 100km sarà una poltroncina inimitabile per le spaziali selle da corsa.....poi stiamo parlando di brooks...sulla bici da' quel tocco in più...bella molto figa!unica nota non l'ho potuta comprare da questo rivenditore perché ..il corriere ha perso l'articolo..quindi non colpevole per il disguido ma ha effettuato il rimborso in tempi celeri senza alcun problema.....la sella..voto..11!
