The Brooks company goes back a century + ... there are other competitors to them as well
Berthoud in France selle anatomica in the USA

I'm 68 I have the Brooks team Pro I bought in the mid 70's I toured extensively Upon
(I wax saturated it 30 + years ago .. they tear when let get too dry)

Including the Rhine from Basel CH northward on a Levee top road until a NATO M1 Abrams Tank got in the way.


Of similar shape is the Selle Italia Turbo and the ones they made for Avocet.
this is drop bar touring sitting up more the Lore is use a wider saddle ..

Problem, with the B17 is its short rail adjustment range so the seat post choice for setback is a combined set of choices ..

Brick and Mortar sitting on saddles is the key

Since the Italian Buy Out the production ramp up at Brooks has been Huge.

Now trendy, They're everywhere, Now.
