Brooks Introduces the C17 Cambium Vegan Saddle

:0)
The last 2 days here have been shocking for rain!....I'm hoping it will be better there.

Should be grand, if the weather stays like it is it'll be perfect for yous, the weather's been cracking during the day, 19 degrees with low winds, few lads sunburnt and what not!

Vegan saddle ffs.

San Francisco has a lot to answer for...

Well, the word 'vegan' was invented by firmly UK-based Donald Watson and co. If anything, SF activists would have jumped on the bandwafon much later. :)

It's just saddle, made of rubber.....with some cotton on.

But it's nice!

You mean the material allowed as much flex as the leather counterpart?

Absolutely ed.... I don't know how it will manage in the heat ( and I doubt I'll find out anytime soon!), but it feels just like my B17 so far..... More like a B17 narrow. I'm impressed after the first few miles.
I'm just at euston, awaiting my train to the ferry, I'll know more by tomorrow morning!

Have fun stedlocks.

Cheers bud, bike locked down, and we're moving!
I'll see you about our bag exchange when I'm back ;0)
I could have done with it now, but it wouldn't have looked right on the 29er! I'm travelling light, but I still have a caradice barley and a backpack..... It's the krypto fag that's not helping things!

so you got one to test Stedlocks? I applied but no joy

today they launch the ltd edition apparently:

€145...!

A bit steep yes

Hope the regular (not numbered) version will be a bit more affordable

To be fair, the RRP on the Brooks website is always very high.

They asked for feedback as to what I would pay for it.... I pitched it at about £80-£100, given the brooks name and the quality. It is very good though!
If you look on the press release for the limited editions, my quote is the first one ;0)

Anyone tried the Carved version?
