Naturally Timeless.

Made By Hand. Shaped By You.

B72 was launched for the first time in the ‘30s of the past century, its refined loop suspension creates a touch of extra comfort for upright bicyclists who gravitate toward unhurried touring. Lighter than other sprung saddles, this classic, durable style offers the best choice for road tourers and old school mtb riders.

DESCRIPTION

B72 was first featured in the 1935 catalogue. It is a light weight touring saddle with unique loop springs incorporated within the saddle, one of the first suspension systems patented by J.B. Brooks back at the end of the 1800's.

CARE INFORMATION

 A new saddle should be trated with Brooks Proofide Leather Dressing to help assist the "breaking-in" process.

Proofide also helps to keep the leather supple as it is carefully formulated from special ingredients to condition, preserve and shower proof your saddle.

Brooks Proofide is the only substance that should be used to take care of your saddle.

Important note: Double-rail frames come with one small obstacle—modern seatposts are made for single-rail saddles. Fortunately, the Brooks Sandwich Seat Adapter is a smart solution that quickly converts double-rail saddles for compatibility with modern micro-adjustable seatposts.

MAINTENANCE

Maintaining your Saddle will ensure that it becomes comfortable and durable. Proofide is the ONLY substance that should be used to care for your leather saddle. Carefully formulated from special ingredients to condition, preserve and showerproof, helping protect the leather supple and to keep it supple. With regular use, your saddle will adapt to your body and retain its beauty, comfort and support. A new saddle should be treated at least once to help to assist the ‘breaking-in’ process and protect the saddle against the elements. Never apply Proofide to a wet saddle.

Apply a small amount of Proofide to the finished top side of the leather, allowing it to permeate until dry. Polish off completely with a soft cloth to avoid getting any residual Proofide on your clothes. Also apply Proofide to the underside of the saddle. Leave this coating on to protect against dirt and moisture. Proofide may be used several times during the ‘breaking-in’ period and periodically thereafter. Do not overuse.

After the break-in period, it is normal and proper to tension the saddle to retain its shape and comfort. To tension the leather top, turn the nose bolt nut clockwise, 90° at a time, checking after each turn until the desired tension is reached. You can use this tension spanner or an Allen key.
