Brooks B17 Special Saddle A classic leather touring saddle with hand-hammered copper rivets and premium traditional detailing. About this product The Brooks B17 Special is a refined version of the classic B17, designed for comfortable riding over long distances. It uses the same proven leather shape as the standard B17, but adds larger hand-hammered copper rivets and copper-plated steel rails for a more traditional, premium finish. The leather gradually shapes to the rider over time, creating a saddle that becomes more comfortable the more it is used.
