Details
The Swallow is a faithful reproduction of a saddle specifically conceived with the sporting cyclist in mind, the result being a timeless design widely regarded as precursor of all modern racing saddles. This saddle was originally patented as long as 1937. At that time a great many such Brooks Saddles were exported to the continent, where they were very popular amongst professional cyclists competing in the various tours and stage races. Today's Swallow still proudly bears the original patent declaration on the tensioning plate beneath the svelte leather upper. This text retains the word 'despose' the patent application for the Swallow having initially been registered in the Paris patent office. The timeless design of the Swallow remains virtually unchanged today.

**Tensioning the leather is probably more important for the Swallow, than for any other Brooks model because the Swallow has much less leather than other models and when the leather profile starts to sag, it puts pressure on the leather at the point where you have the split on yours. Obviously, the heavier the rider, the more diligence on the tensioning is required.**
