Serious question: How do you date Brooks saddles that have no stamp either on the hide or on the cantle plate? Is there anyone with a catalogue-based timeline? Thanks.

And of course, a cycling buddy of mine is looking for a rideable, by no

means show condition Brooks B.15 or 17 saddle. Cheap is important. I asked for a similar one for myself some weeks back, and a B.15 narrow now graces my daily ride-Rossin (not the one on wooly), so perhaps there´s another spare Brooks racing saddle out there somewhere. Again,

thanks.

Regards, Toni Theilmeier, Belm, Germany, where I am not overly afraid of accidentally sent insects because any self-respecting creepy-crawly in the box of the saddle would ask to be

shipped back to where there´s some real summer.
