Looks like the time for a new saddle has come. I always fancied a Brooks leather saddle, but they're "high maintenance" and hate getting wet. They now do one made of a combination of rubber and cotton... Nothing's ever easy!

I used to have a Brooks saddle back in the 70's, it looked great! I agree with Robbie though modern gel saddles are much more comfortable. It depends whether you want style or comfort.

One made of air would be perfect...Robbie may have the answer though !!
Nice focus, Phil

Nice contrasty dark shot.
Had put up with a brooks for about 20 years and found it to be a pain in the ass, for anything more than 40 miles.
The rivets eventually came proud of the leather.
Gel and I can ride all day.
