Product Description
This is a classic looking leather saddle Made by Gyes in Taiwan, it's a real leather saddle with adjustment screw to adjust leather tension as you wear the saddle in. 3 springs - 2 coil springs at the rear and 1 at the front.
If you're looking at this part, you may already know about how much more comfortable leather saddles can be once they're worn in. Some of them are comfortable right out of the box... this one is made pretty heavy duty and may take a bit to get broken in.
This NOT a Brooks saddle, but for you who think in terms of Brooks, the B73 is a good comparison.
This wide, shorter saddle is meant for a more upright riding position, with the handlebars higher than the saddle. The springs are design to support the weight of the rider in an upright position.
Leather care:
* You need to keep it out of the rain as much as possible
* The bottom of the saddle has a protective fabric screen to protect the leather from water sprayed by your tires
* You'll need to make sure you oil your saddle regularly, otherwise it'll dry out, crack and become worthless. Sheldon Brown's website has an excellent article on leather saddles and saddle care (Google "Sheldon Brown leather saddle"). We use Rawlings leather baseball glove oil and conditioner, but any suitable treatment used on baseball gloves, leather bike saddles, horse saddles and the like should do just fine.
Features:
* Color: Classic looking brown leather. Leather has the appearance of being distressed but is not (merely stained that way)
* Rails are painted black with rust-colored textured paint over the top to give the appearance of rust (but it is not actually real rust)
* Designed for upright riding position
* Dual coil springs rear / Single coil spring front
* Full leather construction
* Textured top
* 270mm L x 210mm W (sized for men)
* DUAL RAIL: Comes with seat clamp for use with 7/8" straight seatpost
* Weighs 1.24kg (2 lb 12 oz.)
* Includes wrenches for adjusting saddle tension after leather has settled a bit
* Model CL-10 Made in by Gyes in Taiwan with genuine, quality cow leather
