Brooks England has been around since the middle of the nineteenth century and have always maintained impeccable quality saddles and a broad and devoted ridership. Alpe d’Huez is one of the main climbs and has been a stage finish in the Tour de France almost every year since 1976. The first was in 1952, won by Fausto Coppi, at a time when most cyclists were riding Brooks Saddles.
This Brooks Team Pro Limited edition features a hand-hammered topogaphic map of l’Alpe d’Huez. This is the first in a series of saddles I made that attempt to draw attention to the artisanship and history of the brand. Thanks Jeremy, Malcolm, Vincent & Marco.
