Brooks Swallow Saddles

Brooks Swallow Saddle

The original race saddle. Still a classic.

The Brooks Swallow is a faithful reproduction of a 1937 design built for speed, elegance, and enduring comfort. A minimalist leather top stretched over steel or titanium rails, the Swallow was the precursor to the modern racing saddle, and it's still handmade in England today.

With a sleek profile and just the right flex, it’s ideal for road cycling, randonneuring, or anyone drawn to beautiful, functional bike kit. The underside still proudly bears the original “deposé” patent marking, a nod to its Parisian patent roots.


Why We Like It

  • A piece of cycling history, still built to ride

  • Timeless, minimalist design—nothing unnecessary

  • Made from durable vegetable-tanned leather

  • Ages beautifully and moulds to the rider over time

  • Perfect for classic steel road bikes or modern builds with a touch of heritage

About Us

Though we’re a bike shop that sells, builds and fixes bicycles, they’re really just the means to an end; albeit a beautifully designed means to an idyllic end. Our job most importantly is to encourage as many people as we can to get out and ride for transport and enjoyment. We'd love to make riding a bike as commonplace as your morning cup of coffee, which by the way is our other obsession.
