I bought two Brooks B17 Specials. One regular, and one with titanium rails. Overall quality seems very nice.I have one mounted on a bike so far. My first ride I felt like I was sliding forward. Then I adjusted the tilt of the saddle up just a smidge, and it now feels great. I love the the saddle will break in to fit me perfectly. But even now after just two short rides, I find the saddle comfortable. My only note of disappointment is that the metal framing used at the rear of the saddle is clearly punched out and molded to shape. They didn't de-bur either of the saddles I have as well as they should for an expensive handmade saddle. The sharp edges down there don't affect comfort on the saddle at all, but the Rivendell Seat pack that I have hanging from the loops that are built into the saddle for just that purposes will have unnecessary wear and tear because of those sharp burs. Still, all in all, I am thrilled that these are solid, durable, handmade with leather and metal, and should be very comfortable for a long long time.
From ordering the saddle to receiving it in Australia was extraordinary quick. I have only ridden 20k on single trail so far, but already feel the comfort, very happy.
Disappointing. I was writing immediately after the purchase an e-mail as I wasn't able to activate the 15% discount. I received an answer one day later that I should send back the saddle to order again. That doesn't makes sense - specially because of environmental reasons.
The craftsmanship is superb, and the leather is SO beautiful. I get so many compliments on my saddle.
Right out of the box This is the most comfortable seat and the break in period is short; perfect saddle for lady bits.
This is my second B17 S softened saddle, I bought a new bike so I needed a new seat!
Just buy it. You won’t regret it.
