B15 Swallow is a reproduction of a saddle specifically conceived with the sporting cyclist in mind, the result being a fine design widely regarded as the precursor of all modern racing saddles. This saddle was originally patented as long ago as 1937. At that time many such Brooks Saddles were exported to the continent, where they were popular amongst professional cyclists competing in the various tours and stage races. Swallow still bears the original patent declaration on the tensioning plate beneath the svelte leather upper. This text retains the word ‘depose’, the patent application for the Swallow having initially been registered in the Paris patent office. The design of the Swallow remains virtually unchanged today, Brooks’ only concession to modernity being the recent introduction of a lighter model. The frame is made out of chromium plated steel. The Swallow Titanium, features lightweight titanium rails for a significant weight reduction over the traditional Swallow Chrome, although in all other respects the Swallow models are the same as each other, and indeed exactly the same as their historical namesakes. Length: 285 mm, Width: 153 mm, Height: 62 mm, Weight: 490 g. It is made in England.
