Limited Edition!

#0504 of 1925

B17 Champion Sprinter

The B17 Champion Sprinter was introduced in 1925 and has been in production for over 30 years. Built for mile and half mile events, the Sprinter was the choice of track riders through the 1950’s and early 1960’s.

Whilst all other Brooks Saddles bare the “Made in England” print on the side of the leather top, the Sprinter is embossed with “Made in Great Britain”. This is not a mistake but a faithful reproduction of the original. Until the 1960’s in fact all Brooks Saddles were branded in this way.

This limited edition Sprinter weights 425 g, much less than the original since its frame is entirely made of titanium. The saddle is 274 mm long and 133 mm wide. The leather top is fixed to the frame with hand hammered copper rivets. The Sprinter is delivered in our special Collection box containing all the necessary to take care of the product: a tensioning spanner, a can of Proofide leather dressing and a cotton cloth to polish the saddle.

A true collector’s item, at its introduction the Sprinter was certainly the narrowest saddle ever built, and probably remains one of the narrowest bicycle saddles ever made. Each B17 Champion Sprinter is numbered on the underside and delivered with a certificate bearing the same number.

A Kashimax Keirin saddle next to the Sprinter LE to shows the similarity between the two and to point out track heritage of the Brooks Sprinter. Kashimax not included in auction.

I used the #0711 saddle to illustrate the burn number branding that is into each Limited Edition Sprinter saddle. Naturally if you are bidding on another number in the series, that edition number will be the number burned into your saddle. i.e. If you are bidding on saddle #0504, then 0504 will be burn branded into the bottom of that particular saddle.

A Note to our Customers

In an effort to give you the most honest shipping calculation possible, please use the Vendio calculator near the bottom of this auction. The Vendio calculator is the most accurate, because it takes into consideration a) The box size. b) The box weight. c) The calculator also factors whether the box falls into the “oversized” shipping bracket with USPS or UPS. We have had some discrepancies between the EBay calculator and Vendio’s calculator and although we are trying to correct the problem; we do know for certain Vendio’s is most accurate and is the one used during checkout. Thank you.
