Nobody Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I have always wanted to get a brookes leather saddle. I want it for my X country steed and not sure what model to look at.I think the B-17 was the flavor of the month a while ago but not sure what development there have been. Does anyone have any info or experience to share with me to help my decision?
GTRacing Posted June 25, 2011 Posted June 25, 2011 I have a B17 on my SS. Wish all my saddles were this comfy... Looks a bit odd on my road bike.
Nobody Posted June 27, 2011 Author Posted June 27, 2011 B17, Swift or swallow. Which is more xc orientated?
RodTi Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 B17, Swift or swallow. Which is more xc orientated? Have you looked over at this thread? I have the B17 Special on my SS, and a black Swift on my slightly-racier softail... Each to their own on what looks better - most think Brooks saddles look ugly regardless - but reckon the Swift leans itself to being more XC than the B17... Brooks themselves classify the B17 as being their "touring/trekking" option, with the Swift being designated as a "Road/Mtb" saddle - which clearly has it as being the racier version, and thereby presumably, the more XC-orientated version.
