Brooks Saddle Swift Ultra Rare Limited Edition of 250 London Seattle Phili 2009

Brooks Mandarin Swift Saddle Ultra Rare Limited edition of 250 Winning Teams 2009. The Swift London Seattle Philadelphia Bike Polo World Championships was a limited edition of 250 saddles, featuring mandarin orange leather top and the impressed logo of a bike polo player on top of the world. Brooks designed this saddle to support the first World Championships with a budget to pay flights for 2 teams from Europe and 2 from North America to participate in the finals.

The handsome Swift was the youngest gentleman's racing saddle in the Brooks range. It features delicately hand skived lower sides, where a thin stripe of the leather top surface is cut back, thus exposing the lighter coloured suede beneath which makes for an attractive visual accent and greater comfort when pedalling. The large copper rivets at the nose and tail are also hammered by hand, commensurate with our usual high level of attention to detail.

As is the case with all of our hand manufactured saddles, the Swift proudly sports a metal nameplate at the rear, and in addition two embossed graphic details on the sides featuring the saddle name and incorporating an icon of a Swift in flight.
