The saddle is a brooks 17 narrow available a year ago from Wall Bike, however it is no longer on there web sight. I bought mine from Jonny Cycles, jonnycycles.com ( I have 2 of his bikes as well) The new B17 narrows are not drilled. You might want to try Yellow Jersey. As for the bike, I realy can't say how much I absolutely love the ride. And while the influences for this bike may come from, Baylis, Herse,Singer, Hechins. It is Carlos's personal style that realy turns me on. Ive been to the last 3 NAHBS, and for me Crlos's vision is quite unique. Not only influenced by past bicycle builders, but Southern California's rich Mexican culture as well. Its been quite an enjoyable past 6 months watching him build the bike, and I coudn't be happier. Thank Carlos

Trevor,
really, really nice bike with some hetchins-esque like touches, and i can see all the brian baylis influences. I see Carlos every month and visit their shop a lot.
I was wondering, however, about your B-17 saddle. Did you punch the lacer-holes yourself? Or did you find a source of vintage saddles? I have a bike that needs a B15 lacer, but if I could get a B17, that would be an upgrade ...
