Brooks B120 / B120P Anti-Vibratory Cycle Saddle 1904-1912 with replaced leather top.
I have been through my collection of early Brooks catalogues. This model began as the “B100” in 1904. The frame was slightly different to the model of saddle shown as it had longer slits in the lower sections, but the front and rear springs are the same. In fact, of all the B100 and B120 Brooks saddles frames in the catalogues between 1904 and 1912, the only one that was different actually looks identical to the one that is for sale here. That year was 1911. So, it’s reasonable to say that this saddle is from 1911.
Of course, the leather top has been changed. If I was keeping it, I would probably have someone make a new leather top in the correct shape with the deeper sides.
For reference, I have shown an image of the 1911 saddle from the Brooks catalogue.
Sizes: 11-1/2″ x 9″ and height 3″
It would be an ideal accompaniment for a Veteran Pioneer motorcycle.
Condition: Overall, this veteran saddle is good. The leather is a replacement. It’s in decent condition. The frame is good. The frame has been repainted at some point. It comes with the seat post fixings as attached and shown in the pictures.
