Brooks EnglandB67 Short, Leather Bike Saddle with Suspension Springs

I purchased this saddle to replace a stock Electra Townie seat. We have very rough roads in our neighborhood, and I'm hoping a good-quality sprung saddle will help with the bumps and jolts. I have to say that yes, I can feel the difference already and am very pleased about that.We just put it on the bike today, so obviously the break-in period has just begun. A small packet of Proofide came with it, just enough for the initial application. This was very thoughtful of Brooks and much appreciated.It is very different than the big cushy saddle I was used to. I rode it around the block quite a few times as we were adjusting it. I felt like I was going to fall off it the first time, lol! And these "sit bones" to which they refer?... I now know what and where they are. I put 8 miles on my bike tonight for the initial ride and break-in period, and I have to admit I'm getting more used to it. I am giving the B-67s a 5 star rating, in anticipation of it breaking in nicely. I will update my review as time goes on.Also? It looks really sharp on my bike. That has nothing to do with quality, but... yeah, it looks nice.***Edit 7/9/17*** I removed my gripe about the seller. After some back-and-forth, they sent me a free can of Proofide to partially make up for the price difference between their website and Amazon. This appeased me. :)Also, after 150 miles I adjusted the nose up and that made an improvement in the saddle comfort. I started out with the saddle being level as they suggested and gave it a go for a bit, but it never did feel quite right. Now my sit bones feel like they're where they're supposed to be. Just a little adjustment can take a big difference. This, however, was more of a jump. I'm considering getting a seatpost that is more micro-adjustable, but I'll give this some time and see how it works. It certainly did help.

I read reviews and watched YouTube reviews and decided to give this saddle a try on my ebike. The cushioned seat that came on my bike was comfortable for about 3 miles so I switched to the one I used on my regular bike. It was good for about 8 miles. When the Brooks saddle came I was really skeptical because it is so hard. The first day, I didn’t want to push too hard so rode 8 miles with no pain. Day two, I did 13 miles with no pain. I can’t wait until it is truly broken in. This is such an amazing saddle and it is clearly made for a woman who rides upright. I love it!

Have always wanted one of these spring saddles and I couldn’t stomach paying 150+ but I found this for a reasonable price and purchased it and when I tell you, it’s a game changer for a cruiser. At first, the seat hasn’t informed to you, but once it does, it will be much more comfortable doesn’t look like much, but it is comfortable.

I love this saddle, it really is great, but it doesn't work for me. I don't know if it's my height or weight, but it's not as comfortable as I hoped it would be. Definitely worth trying, but the b17 was better for me.

Oh my gosh. This came in the mail and I thought "wow those people writing about, saying this was so comfortable, were paid to do this! What a bunch of jerks!". When I unpacked it I was so disappointed. The seat feels like really hard plastic and I thought this is going to be so uncomfortable. Well, do not judge a book by its cover is a real thing. This is the most comfortable bike seat I have ever had. Don't be disappointed when you first open it up and touch it. Fantastic seat.

These saddles are renown for their superior comfort. I loosened up the front tensioner nut (tool provided) and lathered it in Proofide and let it sit in the sun for a day to let the Proofide sink in. I installed it on my wife's birthday bike, a 1976 full Reynolds 531 Motobecane Grand Record hybrid resto-mod. It just looks so classic on the bike and my wife loves the way it feels on our rides. I will tighten as needed however, my wife claims that it is "just right" just now. I have provided picture of it on her bike on the wind trainer.

I put this on my Kalkhoff Tasman Classic Impulse electric bike which originally came with a Brooks saddle, but part of the purchase I replaced with a softer gel one "Selle Bassano Feel GT" because when testing the Kalkhoff bike with the Brooks saddle I felt it was way too stiff. Riding on the "Selle Bassano Feel GT" never felt completely comfortable, so I looked at replacing with the original Brooks saddle, plus it would add to the classic look of the bike again.Upon receipt of the saddle I put on my bike same day, and used the wax it came with to help break in the seat. I took a 8 mile ride same day and noticed a difference immediately! I wasn't sliding off, and didn't feel the bulk as I did with the gel seat. My bike is a cruiser and I have front fork shocks for additional comfort. Don't understand why I like my new Brooks seat and not the original one, but there were a few differences, the original was on a display and was probably broken in with multiple riders, the other Brooks seat was the "Aged Tan with Laces, and black chrome springs", mine is "Honey Chrome without Laces" and the saddle seat is set up for meI will continue to wax for breaking in as it notes in the instructions. The wax didn't affect riding or nor did it get on my clothes.The box did come with a wrench which I am assuming it is to be used on the springs or somewhere on the seat, but haven't used it.From my limited experience now, I suggest if you look at purchasing one, make sure the saddle is not a used one, so you can break it in, make sure you use the saddle wax to break it in and lastly make sure the seat is custom adjusted to you!I hope to be riding much more in comfort now that I have my new Brooks Saddle!
