Brooks saddle repairs

[Eric Marth]

Can anyone recommend an outfit that repairs Brooks saddles? I've got a B17 with a twisted nose and bent rails.

Repairs sometimes cost more than new so check first, but I do understand attachment to old parts.

I had them build me up a Honey B-68 from parts including a chromed B-68 frame that I sent them with a Honey B-67 cover. I call it a B-678 Frankensaddle. Not the cheapest saddle on the planet.

Thank you both!

Has anyone ever repaired an old old B-17 with a tear in the leather? After sitting for nearly 20 years, I took my fathers old Brooks from 1975, threw some Proofide on it and began using it. Unfortunately it was still totally dried out deep within and it tore slightly right where the sit bone lands. I’d love to be able to keep using it if it can be repaired! Thanks!

Try Rudimeyr at gmail.com.

He rebuilds Brooks saddles.

I have two of his saddles and they are lovely.

Cool, thanks Michael!

Michael – Must be a typo in the address you provided, it kicked back as "address not found". I used Rudimeyr as you suggested.

Simon at Firth and Wilson in Philadlelphia has “the” reputation. Nice guy too.
