Brooks England: The Eternal One
– This model guide currently covers 1899-1908 and 2000 or so onward. It does not yet include many early and mid-20th century saddle models.
– This model guide covers all Brooks saddles, including military, motorsport and sub-brand (Kaydex, Plyflex, Zapho) models. Some saddles were not included in known catalogs and are not included here.
– The “>>” symbol indicates “became,” as in a set of measurements became another set of measurements at a later date.
– When a Year/Size/Weight/Value entry follows another similar entry in the same field (usually separated by a comma or slash character), the first value precedes the second value in time, and so on.
– Many limited “Edition” saddles have been created for one-off needs, special events, seasonal uses or other purposes. Most are variations of production models. Some are included here and others are not.
– All saddles are either known or presumed to made in England, unless otherwise noted (e.g., Cambium/Italy).
– Enamel or nickel plated steel finishes became available for all chassis designs in 1900, except Zapho models which were only available in enamel. Enamel finishes cost 15-20% than nickel finishes.
– Enamel or chromium plated steel finishes became available for all chassis designs in 1957, except Juvenile models which were only available in enamel. Enamel finishes were 2-3% less in cost than chrome finishes.
– Sizes of some models change over catalog entries (e.g., B. 15, B. 67), usually getting shorter over time.
– Weights of some models change over catalog entries (e.g., B. 17, B. 19), usually getting lighter over time.
– Larger size saddles (/2, /3 and /4 sizes) were thought to be preferred by some long distance riders.
– Some models (e.g., B. 72) were completely redesigned over the years, whereby redesigned models did not resemble old models in either form or function.
– Some models (e.g., B. 90) migrated from bicycle saddles to motor saddles in the early 1900s without their designs changing much or whatsoever.
– Most saddle models seemed to have gained an additional 10% or so in weight in 1908, with other attributes like dimension/size having remained generally consistent around that time.
