    Inside Brooks Saddle Factory

    by  • March 2, 2010 • Bike as Art, Photos • 0 Comments

    Found this fantastic gallery of photos from Brooks Saddle factory in Smethwick England.

    Metal parts are stamped out and heat-treated, flat pieces of leather are soaked and then formed in molds and the parts are all assembled by hand. After seeing how much work goes into a single bike seat, these famously expensive saddles start to look cheap. [via Doobybrain via Wired]
