Brooks saddles

[TAV]

Hi I've just bought a Edinburgh touring bike I'm going to change the saddle I'm looking at a c17 saddle but how do you know if it's the right size at the moment I'm ridding a bike with a 144mm width saddle.

The C17, as with most Brooks saddles only come in one size, depending on the model.
The C17 is a bit wider than your present saddle.
Like most saddles, they will be a personal thing. I love Brooks saddles and I have them on 4 of my bikes. Other people can not get on with them.

You can get the C13 in 145mm width if you want the rubber ones, the Swallow is the narrowest of the Leather Brooks

Being a Brooks fan, I'm a wee bit bias . However, as I'm using a B.17 on my commuter, I took the plunge and bought a C.17 for my audax bike. Despite having the same ' 17 ' suffix, the dimensions are rather different. However, the C.17 was comfort straight out of the box, and of course, no breaking in and weatherproof. So from recent experience, I would certainly recommend the Brooks Cambium range.

That's the bike I've bought a nice brown Brookes saddle would look nice on it. Has anyone heard of the brand before it's a Edinburgh touring bike.

It's from the Edinburgh Cycle Cooperative, a firm I've bought goodies from in the past and apparently are very well thought of.
