More Brooks Pro Pictures

The Brooks Pros with large rivets were originally called Team Pros.

At some point all Brooks Pros came with large rivets and the model was changed to plain Brooks Pro saddles.

1970s Brooks Team Pro with rough hammered rivets.



1981 NOS Brooks Pro with very large nose rivets compared to standard rivets.



Modern black dyed Brooks Pro with rough hammered rivets and rounded nose.



Modern honey Brooks Pro with rough hammered rivets and rounded nose.



Ringer #1 - I had a Brooks Pro with broken rails and an Ideale 90 with alloy rails and bad leather. I merged the two.



Ringer #2 - an NOS Ideale 88 Daniel Rebour model which was a Brooks Pro knockoff.
