Make it to Smethwick, West Midlands, England.
Brooks England is a bicycle saddle manufacturer in Smethwick, West Midlands, England. It has been making leather goods since 1866. In the 1880s, the production of bicycle saddles began, the first saddle patent having been filed in 1882 and Brooks is producing leather saddles in Smethwick until today.
The fundamental design of a Brooks saddle is a leather top stretched between a metal "cantle plate" at the rear and a nose piece, to which it is attached with steel or copper rivets. Using a threaded bolt, the nose piece can be moved forward independently of the rails, tensioning the leather. To tension the leather you need a little spanner supplied with every saddle. As I already own one spanner I send this one to travel. Hopefully it’ll get to Smethwick.
