With a look out of last century – and we mean way before 1999 – the World Traveller B17 from Brooks isn’t designed to be the fastest, lightest or sleekest. This leather saddle is however meant for the globe trekker, as it builds into the WCR Grand Tour, the competitive bike race that started in February with riders vying to circumnavigate the world.
The new bike saddle features a 1920’s style image – but with the year 2012 still part of the motif. It is made of durable leather, chromed-cooper steel rails and frame, along with cooper rivets. It should be ready for a tour of the world, or just treks around town.
