I should have given it some oil or proofhide, but I never did. I'm taking much better care of the Brooks Flyer (B17 with springs) which I have fitted to my touring bicycle. Perhaps the best-ever touring saddle in my opinion! Did this to an old Bell Model 40 saddle. I should have given it some oil or proofhide, but I never did.

What I do when I buy a new seat is put a plastic bag over it so I don't damage the logos or finish and give it a few days to see if it really is right for me. If not most stores will let you exchange it for another one. These things are very personal as each of our bums are different from another persons.

This allowed you to fine-tune the stiffness along the spine of the saddle. http://www.brooksengland.com/catalogue-and-shop/saddles/touring+%26+trekking/B17+Aged/ Some of Brooks’ early saddles, like the B17 (I have one of these on my ’74 Carlton) have lacing holes along the bottom edge of the leather.
