Toured the Brooks Saddles factory at Smethwick today - third time (previously 2010 & 2013) but still fascinating. The factory is a classic of the British manufacturing industry employing age-old techniques, but with a few modern innovations - producing bicycle saddles for over a century.
Most of the saddles are made with leather in various styles, shapes and designs on a metal frame (steel or titanium) - they've been a cyclist favourite forever! Prices (RRP) start from around £110 and go up to £200+
All three of my bikes sport Brooks saddles, two in black an one in brown.
