I'm a little confused about something I've been seeing online in regards to Brooks saddles on Brompton. It seems that some dealers indicate that you can buy a Brooks B17 specifically intended for use with the Brompton. To me, they just look like Brooks B17 specials, with the hand-hammered rivits and edge detailing.

The product description usually says "Made for Brompton", which could be taken literally. Maybe they are just referring to the included pentaclip.

Is Brooks actually making special seats with the B17 mold expressly for Brooks, or is this a wordy marketing name to suggest that the Brooks works well with the Brompton (which I believe to be true)?

I guess this question was already answered here. Can anyone confirm/shed some light?


Thanks in advance
