The Brooks Swallow Classic saddle is a true gem that revives the iconic design of the very first modern racing saddle, which hit the market in 1937. It comes with original chromium - plated steel metalwork, giving it both durability and a sleek look. The tensioning plate on the underside still shows the original patenting info with the word 'DEPOSE', as the patent for this model was initially registered in Paris. Back then, a large number of Brooks saddles were exported to the continent for racers in cycling tours. This saddle has a width of 153mm, a length of 287mm, and weighs 490g. It's built on a chromium - plated steel frame and proudly made in England.
Using your Brooks Swallow Classic Chrome Saddle is easy. Just attach it to your bike frame following the standard procedure. When riding, make sure the saddle is at a comfortable height and angle for you. As for maintenance, keep it clean by wiping it down regularly with a soft cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they can damage the chromium - plated steel. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent rusting. Also, check the tensioning plate and the frame periodically for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice any issues, it's best to have it inspected by a professional bike mechanic.
