Description from the seller

Two classic leather bicycle saddles – Lepper & Brooks B73 – Vintage cycling history

Two iconic names from the history of cycling, brought together in one characterful lot!

This special set consists of two classic leather bicycle saddles from the renowned brands Lepper and Brooks. Both feature a metal spring construction, an authentic look, and visible traces of a rich cycling past.

1. Lepper – Brown leather bicycle saddle

A characterful saddle from the historic brand Lepper, known for its traditional leather saddles and sturdy spring constructions.

This specimen features a nicely shaped brown leather saddle cover with the original Lepper logo in relief. The metal framework is equipped with striking, robust suspension.

The leather shows a strongly lived-in look with clear craquelure and damage.

2. Brooks B73 – Black leather bicycle saddle

A classic from the famous English brand Brooks, which has existed since 1866.

The B73 model was originally introduced in 1935 and is distinguished by its special triple suspension: two rear springs and an extra spiral spring at the front.

The offered example is finished in black leather with metal rivets. On the side sits the original blind stamp:

GENUINE LEATHER – BROOKS – B73.

A characteristic design from the rich English cycling tradition.

Features

* Quantity: 2 saddles.
* Brands: Lepper and Brooks.
* Brooks model: B73.
* Material: leather and metal.
* Colors: brown and black.
* Both equipped with metal spring constructions.
* Original brand markings visible.
* Exact production period of both saddles not established.

Condition

Both saddles are in used vintage condition.

The brown Lepper saddle shows clear signs of age, including strong craquelure and damage to the leather. The black Brooks saddle also shows signs of use.

The saddles have not been technically inspected and are offered as collectibles or for restoration. For actual cycling use, the leather, frame and suspension should first be professionally checked.

User marks are visible in the photos.

A particularly interesting pair for collectors of historic bicycle parts, enthusiasts of classic bicycles or restorers of vintage bikes.
