Brooks B17 Standard - Black
Low stock
The Brooks B17 has been the brand’s best-selling saddle for over 100 years and is a classic leather saddle for commuting, gravel, road cycling, and long-distance touring. The 175 mm-wide shape is designed for a moderately forward-leaning riding position of around 60°, and the tensioned leather construction works almost like a hammock, flexing with your body and helping to dampen vibrations from the road surface.
The saddle is handmade in England from 100% vegetable-tanned leather. Unlike a synthetic saddle, the B17 needs time: the leather gradually moulds to your anatomy while developing the patina that is such a defining part of Brooks saddles’ character. Steel rails, a steel frame, and steel rivets make the B17 Standard the robust base model in the range.
The B17 is for you if you prioritise comfort and long service life over low weight and want a saddle for many hours in the saddle. It requires a little more care and break-in time than Brooks Cambium models, but for touring, commuting, and longer rides, it remains one of Brooks’ most proven designs.

Build your custom dream bicycle with us
Consultation meeting
At the first step in the process, we would like to discuss with you what kind of bicycle you are looking for, and what budget you have. It is best if we arrange a meeting for this, either in the shop or online.
Quote
After a paid deposit or purchase of a frame set, we send you a detailed quote. At this stage, there is still every opportunity to adjust the choice of parts.
The bicycle is assembled
Now things are starting to happen! The quote is finalized. We order components and put everything together ahead of the build. Depending on your choice of parts, it takes different amounts of time to assemble the bike, but two weeks from approved quote is usually enough.
The bicycle is ready for delivery
You are welcome to collect your custom bicycle. We also offer shipping to all corners of the world. From our initial meeting, we have taken your measurements so that you sit correctly on the bicycle. Before handing it over, we make small adjustments together with you and, if desired, go through how to adjust and take care of the bicycle. Happy riding! =)
