Brooks Bike Saddles

Post by Mike »

Cool Hunting has an article on a British cycle seat manufacturer who still hand makes bike saddles. They look pretty slick but at $256 it would be a bit steep in my humble opinion. :-D

I've ridden one... its the most amazingly comfortable saddle for long rides. Shame about the price, and the fact that you have to break the leather in to make it comfortable. They do last a lifetime tho' so maybe it could be seen as an investment rather than an extravagance?

Cool Hunting comes out trumps again, this time with a series of unorthodox cycling helmets that place an equal emphasis on style and safety!
