Brooks Saddle

[funk2monk]

Would anyone know the age of this Brooks B90/3 saddle please. Not seen the Brooks logo written like this so guessing it’s an early one?

Dinosaurs may have been striding the earth when this one was made

Very Nice, it does look an old un, pre WW11 I'd say

Nice saddle. With a bit of TLC it should come up nicely.

any sign of feint numbers on the leather underside?

Nice oldie that one. Think they're known as hairspring saddles. You can still buy something similar over this way, this is one I was using on a homebuild:

They sometimes have date code stamped on the rear frame by the rails

Is this any help?

Hi Carpenter,
Just looked and there is nothing underneath except the odd dead spider or two.

Am interested in this bike - do you have a thread?

I have just read an article that the Brooks B90/3 was first produced in 1903.

There was also a B90 motorcycle saddle produced in 1901.

Did this one about 4 years back. Had a thread on Atomic Zombie, but no longer there I'm afraid. Was there something in particular you wanted to know? Anyways, another pic
