I know this is a long shot. I’m asking for a saddle that has long been discontinued, but I think this saddle would look so sick on my super secret bike build. No, I’m not telling you about that. But I need that yellow saddle and maybe someone has one they would dust off and sell me. I think Brooks called it “ochre.”

Thanks!

My experience with the coloured Brooks saddles is that the colour wears off on the contact points and the natural colour of the leather shows through. I have a green Brooks on one bike and a grey one on another, and on both saddles the area where my sit bones contact has gone back to the natural colour underneath.

These days I just purchase leather saddles in the natural colour.
