Note that saddles in green have been removed from Brooks' pricelists that I have, and the distributor I have doesn't seem to have them, so if you're interested in a specific saddle in green, send me an email, perhaps I can order a batch. Note also that the green Brooks saddles I've seen are quite dark, it's so dark you would think it's black unless you look closer. That was not very impressive to me, and quite unlike the images Brooks have/had on their website.

Note: As of mid/late 2009, most Imperials no longer come with 3 extra coloured laces (well, strangely it varies, as of Spring 2011 I've them again with the extra laces). I read somewhere that someone from Brooks noticed almost no one used those extra laces, so I guess that's why they're no longer included, at least for a while? Btw., any 75 cm long laces from a shoe shop wil do..
Normally I don't stock the Flyer:

With black coated frame, organic specially selected uncoloured leather. Note that the leather will get darker, more like honey, in use. Included: maintenance kit, saddle cover.
| Ladies' versions (such as Finesse, B17S) of all saddles (where available) are the same price as the mens versions, but generally pre-order only (as there's little interest in them). |
After a question from a client about glued bar tapes in mid 2011 I checked some of the bar tapes I had recently got from a distributor and all were glued, see this example:
I then checked all my stock:
- 1 x honey: both pieces glued
- 1 x antique brown: both pieces glued
- 4 x black: one piece glued
- 1 x black: both pieces glued
- 8 x black: single pieces, not glued.
So, 7 out of 15 have glued pieces.
Are these glued bar tapes acceptable to use? On a roadbike handlebar the splice could be positioned on the bottom section where it will not be visible (but you can feel it). For bullhorn bars the handlebar tape is longer than necessary and the splice doesn't matter as the tape will be cut earlier anyway.
2011-11-24: Finally an answer from Brooks about percentages that are glued: ca. 95% is glued. This is different from their earlier answer that this only happens sometimes and means that there is not much point in selecting. I was apparently lucky in my current stock with a fair number of single piece leather bar tapes.
Selected, whole pieces of leather (Note: while stocks last, as there is not much point in selecting if 95% of all bar tapes are glued):
- Leather bar tape, whole pieces (black): $65,- / €55,- (several in stock)
Not selected:
- Leather bar tape (black): $55,- / €45,- (in stock)
- Leather bar tape (antique brown): $55,- / €45,- (in stock)
- Leather bar tape (honey): $55,- / €45,- (in stock)
- Leather bar tape (green/purple/white/turquoise/mustard): $55,- / €45,- (in stock at distributor, takes just a few days to get to me)
Note that I cannot provide guaranteed single piece non-glued leather for these colours, as the selection process only works when buying a whole bunch of bar tapes and then checking them all. These colours are not populair enough for me to do that, and for other colours it's not useful any more.

Brooks leather toe straps: I think they are too expensive even though they have a stainless steel clasp, so I won't stock these when what I have is sold:

Others: Millbrook, Glenbrook, etc.: Enquire...
See this page (Brooks Hoxton, Camden, Brick lane, Soho, Islington, Hampstead etc.)
- Brooks Flyer: The Flyers are useless versions of the B17, because the springs are too hard and don't give any comfort improvement over a B17. [ possibly useful for heavier cyclists? (say 100kg and more) ]
- Brooks B66/B66S, B67/B67S: These are useless saddle types because the springs are too hard and don't give any comfort improvement over a B68. Get a B68 (men's saddle) or B68S (ladies' saddle) instead, which is just as comfortable and a lot lighter. [ possibly useful for heavier cyclists? (say 100kg and more) ]
Note: Before 1999 the B66 had soft springs. The B67 was introduced in 2001 and always had hard springs. The B66/B66S cannot be mounted directly on a patent seatpost which is why this is a saddle we don't recommend for that reason as well.- Brooks B33 and B130/B190: These are suitable for city- or slow touring bikes and listed as 'heavy duty saddles' by Brooks. We don't have experience with them... But still we would suggest a B68 with a cheap sprung seatpost is probably at least as comfortable and a lot lighter. We may change this if there's serious interest in these saddles (there's been none so far).
- Brooks aged saddles: We are not convinced of the use of aged versions of various saddles (B17, Flyer, B68) and will therefore not stock them. This also means the aged versions of saddle bags and grips will not be stocked!
More information about these issues can be found on the saddle experiences and recommendation page.
- Saddle tensioner: $4,- / €3,- (sometimes in stock)
- Maintenance kit: $12,- / €10,- (in stock)
Box containing: 25g Proofide, cloth + saddle care instructions + tensioner with a hole to hang it on a hook or a nail in the wall.
- Can with 40g Proofide: $12,- / €10,- (in stock)
- Saddle cover (Brooks' 2010 version) (medium size): $9,- / €7,- (in stock)
This saddle cover works for all Brooks saddles up to the size of the B17.
- Saddle cover (Brooks' 2010 version) (large size): $9,- / €7,- (in stock)
This saddle cover is for use on the larger city bike saddles B66 / B67 / B68, and B66S / B67S / B68S.
- Saddle cover Haberland: $4,- / € 3.50 (in stock)
| As Brooks currently don't want to make other versions of the B17 Imperial/B17 narrow Imperial (so no B17 Imperial titanium, and no black carriage instead of chrome), we offer a modification service. This can be done as follows: 1. The cutout precisely as the Imperials from Brooks 2. Making the cutout slightly wider on the front (a few millimetres). The latter I would suggest is preferable, as in long term use (several thousand km) the slot on a B17 Imperial gets a bit narrower, and so much so that it just makes the saddle just a little bit less good than it could be. |
- Imperial cutout + lacing applied to a B17-titanium, B17 standard, B17 special, B17 narrow: $30,- / €25,-
Here's a B17 special honey, modified with just cutout (I only recommend this for lightweight riders, although you can always drill holes for the lacing if necessary afterwards of course):
Here's a B17 standard honey (much darker than the honeys I get from Brooks, I have no idea how that came to be; This saddle was brought to me to be modified):
And here is a larger version of the first image.
It's also possible to do the Imperial modification to a Team professional:
Note: Unless Lepper can supply saddles within a reasonable time in the future, I will not stock them any more. This is a pity, as there needs to be more competition to Brooks, but the way it's going now is not workable. Ok, finally got hold of some saddles, so perhaps things are going the right way now (Aug. 2011) .
Tour/race saddles:
- Aspin (natural, cork, black), stainless steeel carriage: $180,- / €145,- (Cork pre-order, black & natural ?)
- Aravis (natural, cork, black), same as the Aspin but with titanium carriage: $230,- / €190,- (Cork pre-order, black & ?)
Race saddle:
- Soulor (natural, cork, black), stainless steel carriage: $155,- / €125,- (pre-order)
Mudflaps:
- Mudflap brown: €15,- (in stock) (in the picture next to a Brooks mudflap in antique brown to show the colour difference)
To be added. After my discovery of how much better anatomical grips are, I no longer intend to sell round grips... (and I only use anatomic grips on my own bikes).
I can sell the Brooks leather grips (both types, the early version with loose rings and the 'slender' grips) for $75,- / €55,- if you really want them...
- Stainless steel keyring and leather key fob in dark brown: $10,- / €8,-
If you're tired of keyrings rusting, this is for you. Made from 1.8 mm stainless steel wire, it comes with a leather key fob which makes it perfect to use with the key of your bicycle lock. Also possible is a suede-like key fob.
- Stainless steel chain hook + chain spring: $6,- / €5,-
Both are very useful to take apart or put together a chain. You can choose which tool you prefer as I offer both in one package.
(pictures to follow)
- Simson super sport: $8,- / €6,- (in stock)
Contains: patches, glue, 2 tyre levers, sanding paper, Schraeder- and Presta to Dunlop converters (to be able to pump them up with a standard pump for Dunlop valves (but also for Presta so the Schraeder converter allows you to pump a tyre with Schraeder valve using a pump that has a head for Presta valves).
If you're looking for other products feel free to suggest them. Possible additions:
If you're interested in these send an email to confirm interest and improve chances it will be stocked.

Team professional, B17, B17 narrow, B17 Imperial, Swallow, Swift, B68, Lepper Voyager, Lepper voyager Lounger, and more:
