Subject: [CR]Wrights & Lycette saddles - Info Please?

Someone please do correct me if I am mistaken. My understanding was that the Lycette and Wrights marques may have once existed as independent manufacturers, and later each may have been bought out by Brooks which continued to market (and/or manufacture) them as secondary or budget lines for quite some time before each was eventually retired.

Does anyone know the approximate dates of either Wrights or Lycette's manufacture... from their origins, through the possible Brooks affiliation, until their ultimate end?

Appreciate any solid information on these saddles which seem to be fairly common - even in the US - and which also seem to have held up quite well over the years, at least judging from the few examples I own.

Thanks! Bob Hanson, Albuquerque, NM, USA
