{"product_id":"brooks-b17-special","title":"Saddle - Brooks B17 Special","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe B.17 is Brooks's most popular saddle, and the one we recommend most of the time. There are different variants. This is a Special version of the Classic Brooks B.17, because the lower edge of the side flap is hand-beveled (skived), and the rivets holding the leather to the frame are 13mm wide copper and set by hand with a hammer, rather than small steel and machine-set. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe difference is cosmetic, and if you like the big rivets and get a chill knowing a brute with a mallet smacked the copper rivets flush with the leather, then get this saddle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's 17cm wide. It is the best all-around Brooks model, and the one that makes Brooks so famous and popular these days. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you sit really upright, consider another model (like the B. 72 which we don't stock, or the B.67 which we do). But for general sportsy-type riding, any B.17 is the one we prefer. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLength: 275mm \u003cbr\u003eWidth: 175mm \u003cbr\u003eHeight: 65mm \u003cbr\u003eWeight: 540g steel \/ 410g titanium\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper plated chromed steel rails with black, honey, antique brown or black \"lab\" (passport stamps) leather top.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e--\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTitanium rails with Black leather top. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Jan 2025 update: Titanium B17 saddles now also available in Honey or Antique Brown leather tops.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegister your leather saddle \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.brooksengland.com\/en_us\/10-years-program\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e HERE\u003c\/a\u003e within 3 months of purchase to extend the 2 year warranty to 10 years.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Highway Two HWY 2 (689)","offers":[{"title":"Black leather \/ steel rails","offer_id":23336830145,"sku":"S2-11005","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Honey leather \/ steel rails","offer_id":23336830209,"sku":"S2-11006","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Antique Brown leather \/steel rails","offer_id":12891371307119,"sku":"s2-11003","price":220.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Black leather \/ titanium rails","offer_id":39329257750639,"sku":"s2-11901","price":330.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Honey leather \/ titanium rails","offer_id":42650332135535,"sku":"s2-11983","price":330.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Antique Brown leather \/ titanium rails","offer_id":42650332168303,"sku":"s2-11984","price":330.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1403\/7343\/files\/brooks_b17_special_titanium_ant_brown_11984.png?v=1734383074","url":"https:\/\/www.rivbike.mom\/products\/brooks-b17-special","provider":"Rivendell Bicycle Works","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
