Snapped this shot of the Special Edition Honey B17 on my way home last night. The ‘Special Edition’ refers to the large hammered copper rivets that hold the leather to the saddle’s steel sub structure.
Rock the Bike has been selling Brooks Saddles since 2006, and we had the honor of being the second winner of their photo contest last spring:
We have three variety of Brooks’ popular B17 in stock: Black, Honey, and Special Edition Honey.
Once again, here’s why you should ride a Brooks B17:
Here’s a standard edition B17 that I happened to spot on the way home last night:
Notice that the rivets that hold the saddle together are smaller and silver in color. Other than this, there is no difference between Special Edition and standard B17 saddles.
This photo of Fossil Fool and a guest rapper won the Brooks Saddles photo contest and will be on their home page.
Story of the photo:
I was street performing in North Beach, San Francisco, during one of the San Francisco Cruiser Rides, and this crowd of people walked by and started really reacting to the music. One of them said he had something to say a cappella, so I handed him the microphone and let him do his thing. He was really getting into it.
