This version of our classic B17 Narrow~ the B17 Narrow Carved~ was originally introduced in 1910 and features a cut-out for pressure relief. Built for mile- and half-mile events~ this saddle was the choice of track riders through to the 1960s. Like all Brooks Leather Saddles~ the B17 Narrow is made by hand in our Smethwick England factory from vegetable-tanned leather which will mold to the body and age beautifully over time. At once stylish~ this is a perfect bike seat for track cycling~ urban fixed gear or for riders. Durable Vegetable Tanned Leather: Saddles are made from a 5mm thickness of premium vegetable tanned leather for lifelong durability. Shapes Over Time: Leather naturally molds to the unique shape of the rider for a more comfortable ride. Lasting Comfort & Breathability: Leather provides natural breathability and a suspended molded seat for tailored lasting comfort. Extended 10-Year Guarantee: Brooks offers an extended 10-year guarantee on all leather saddles. Handcrafted Since 1866: Brooks has been crafting iconic leather saddles for over 150 years. Pressure Relief & Added Flex: A single cutout helps make our Carved saddles more flexible and better able to reduce anatomical discomfort.
