Berthoud and Brooks "When only the Best will do..." |

Our Saddle Satisfaction Guarantee Sometimes a saddle just doesn't work for you - it is a personal thing and what works for one person may not for someone else. The best saddle is the one that works best for you. Now we could raise our prices a bunch and have a very long "trial" period, but in reality, most folks will know in about 4 to 6 weeks if a saddle is going to work. So if you purchase a saddle and don't abuse it, you can mail it within 45 days of when you received it, for a full refund less shipping (or better for us, store credit, but its your choice). Now if you aren't riding the bike much and you need a bit more time, please let us know before the 45 days is up, and we'll give you an extension. Or goal is to stay happily in business and to set prices that are fair to everyone. We think this is an ideal balance. Note: Berthoud Saddles carry a 60-day satisfaction Guarantee - on Berthoud saddles we offer the best price and best satisfaction guarantee you will find anywhere! |

Berthoud Saddle Black Or Tan $ 209 (Cork is $219)
cork saddle shown here
click on image below to enlarge
This saddle has been eagerly anticipated for perhaps two years, and it is now just landing in the United States. Quality is outstanding, and it has received very positive reviews (see recent Bicycle Quarterly). The saddle is made of top quality leather and the leather top can be removed form the undercarriage using the gorgeous Berthoud hardware. The Berthoud saddle has a bit more overall adjustment than a Brooks, although much of the adjustment allows the saddle to be positioned farther forward. A nice feature of the Berthoud saddle is that it has provision to mount a Berthoud 786 bag using a quickfix attachment to the rear. To take advantage of this, you will need the Berthoud 786 bag and a quickfix attachment. The parts you need come with the quick fix attachment for a Brooks saddle, but we think the less expensive non-Brooks quick fix attachment will also work but you will need to get different screws to thread into the back of the saddle. Either your hardware store can help or hopefully we'll look into this and get the correct hardware in the next week or so.

Brooks B-17 Standard Black or Honey $ 86
click on image below to enlarge
The B17 standard is probably our most popular saddle. It is affordably priced, and not terribly different than the B17 Special. The rivets are smaller on the B17 standard, and the rails are black, but that doesn't seem to make a big difference. Even though the B17 standard is less expensive, the leather is typically top notch. The B17 is designed for folks who have a relatively upright riding position (the bars are close in height to the saddle) but not overly so. Should the on-line store indicate they are out of stock, please email us as we usually get them back in stock in just a few days.

Brooks B-17 Special Black or Honey $ 129

The B17 Special is like our most popular saddle, the B17 Standard, but is fancier. It features large copper rivets and chrome rails. Lets face it, sometimes looks and elegance are important. The B17 is designed for folks who have a relatively upright riding position (the bars are close in height to the saddle) but not overly so.

Brooks Pro Classic Black or Honey $ 115
click on image to enlarge
In the very old days (and even today), there were B17 Standard and B17 narrow saddles. The narrower saddles are better for riders that are not as upright. Well at some point probably about 50 years ago, Brooks came out with a saddle that had a width in between that of the B17 standard and narrow; and they called it the Professional. So if you have some gap between the saddle height and the top of the bars, this may be the ideal width saddle for you. In the old days, all the Brooks saddles had relatively small rivets. In the late 1960's or early 70's, Brooks started using big rivets, which apparently are costlier. But we're really not sure they add a whole lot, and we like the look of the smaller rivets from a classic standpoint. So recently, Brooks introduced the "classic" line of Professionial saddles with hollow rivets, and at very attractive prices! The rails are indeed still chrome.

Brooks B-17 Imperial Men or Lady $ 134
click on image to enlarge
Like the B17 Standard, but with a cutout on top that is probably intended to avoid issues in the "personal" areas. Probably a gimmick, but it does look cool. Plus you get some nifty holes on the side that you can lace up like in years-gone-by. A very retro saddle for sure, and certain to dress up many bikes. The saddle comes in black, but we have it in a lady and mens version. Should the on-line store indicate they are out of stock, please email us as we usually get them back in stock in just a few days.
