Brooks Saddles Team Professional
Details
For generations, Brooks' Team Professional has been the choice of serious cyclists due to Brooks' fine full-grain premium leather top, the classic shape that delivers top-notch pedaling efficiency and the incredible comfort and sheer beauty of this fine leather saddle. This sweet seat also boasts hand-hammered rivets, chromoly rails and chamfered edges, which complement the awesome fit and feel.
Also available in Honey with Chrome rails and Black or Honey with Copper-plated rails (images unavailable from manufacturer).
Brooks manufactures their saddles in Smethwick, Birmingham using machines dating back to the 19th century. Only top quality hide leather is used which is immersed in water and formed under intense pressures. Even the springs and frames are manufactured in house! Skilled hand labor is necessary every step of the way, a process that can take 90 days for one saddle!
Of all the components in a quality saddle, none is more important than the leather, and Brooks carefully examines every single piece of leather ensuring that it's the absolute highest quality. For example, while it's important that all stretch is eliminated, the flexibility of the leather must remain intact so that it can conform to the contours of your body and keep its shape for years to come. Plus, thanks to the built-in pores in its fine leather, Brooks saddles have natural ventilation and never become clammy and are always cool to ride providing top levels of comfort on even the longest rides on the warmest days. Even better, plenty of Brooks customers have used the same Brooks saddle for 30 or more years, a testament to Brooks' craftsmanship and the fine materials in their saddles.
