Vintage BROOKS Swift leather saddle, 505g, Eroica, very good condition

505 grams of hand-moulded leather, held by large copper rivets—this Brooks Swift defines the mid-century racing perch. Its slender profile and distinctive cutaway sides made it a favourite among lightweight aficionados long before carbon rails existed.

The photos form an integral part of the description, documenting every angle of this saddle’s superb state. It has been preserved with only faint traces of age typical of a decades-old leather saddle, and no structural issues whatsoever.

Key Advantages

• Lightweight at 505g: Ideal for weight-conscious vintage builds without sacrificing comfort.
• Classic Swift Profile: The narrow nose and flared rear provide support for racing and spirited road riding.
• Well-Maintained Leather: Already broken in, yet shows no cracks or excessive wear, retaining its shape and subtle patina.
• Copper Rivets: Large hand-set rivets anchor the leather to the rail frame, a hallmark of Brooks craftsmanship.

Technical Specifications

• Country of origin: United Kingdom

For a wider, more cushioned perch, consider the Brooks Professional B78 leather saddle at 565g, which provides a different ride geometry. Alternatively, the hand-tensioned Brooks Professional saddle offers another classic lightweight option.

Mount this Swift on a vintage steel frame and feel the direct connection to road cycling heritage.
