About this deal

Management of the site was taken over by Chater-Lea in 2020 who undertook a comprehensive redesign and rebuild to enable future generations to continue to enjoy. This saddle was not a great success – some riders complained that it was not stiff enough laterally.

The leather top is suspended over the saddle rail to create a suspended moulded seat, similar to a hammock, for tailored lasting comfort. Comfort and style like this encourage more regular riding, meaning more opportunities to push your boundaries and go further. The badges on the rear have changed too – early examples had a lovely fretted badge and in the 1960s there was even a period when no rear badge was fitted.Apply a small amount of Proofide to the finished top side of the leather, allowing it to permeate until dry. In line with Brooks' current policy of looking through the back catalogue for items that might please the contemporary audience, the concept and design of the Imperial date from around 1890, making it possibly the first-ever cycle saddle manufactured with a large hole in the middle to relieve 'perineal pressure'. A comfortable saddle from day one, the B17 Softened is an ideal saddle for commuting, touring and general use with treated leather for a swift break in period. Middle widths are often used for touring or commuting when the spinal angle of the rider is in a 45 to 60 degrees position. In late 1952 (though previously available on the continent) a new B17 model, the B17F was introduced – this was essentially a modified version of the Narrow with keyhole slots in the top and a more rounded cantleplate with the leather trimmed away.

Our Brooks Female Saddle will make you want to hop on your Brompton day in, day out, with style and comfort. It’s not just about reaching your destination but appreciating the journey and wanting to do it repeatedly; our Brooks Male Saddle will make you want to hop on your Brompton day in, day out. From the dawn of time well, of modern cycling, at any rate arrives the latest model from leather cycle saddle and accoutrements specialists Brooks in the sumptuous shape of the B17 Imperial.Finally, keep in mind that, in occasional cases, your package may be delayed by customs and subsequent charges may apply. It’s the ideal bike saddle for all cycling adventures including commuting, gravel cycling, road cycling as well as touring and trekking use. A new range of lightweight models with aluminium cantleplates and stainless steel rails was launched. This feature is, of course, widespread on current saddles and, if reports on the Imperial's comfort are anything to go by, is as worthwhile on a leather saddle (for those who need it) as on a plastic-shell design.
