Prices rise! Sorry, but the weakness of the U.S. Dollar has caused a substantial price increase for Brooks saddles and other U.K.-made products.
In addition, the global increase in the price of titanium has caused an even higher rise on prices of the models with titanium frames.

The B73

The B73 is a B66 Standard with a third spring at the front.

This added spring greatly increases the effective suspension travel, making this a particular favorite for tandem stokers.

Some riders find that the saddle has more lateral motion than they prefer for maximum control on a single bike.

The B73 is a double-rail saddle

These use a special clamp (included) for old-style "pipe-type" seatposts.
To use them with modern "microadjusting" seatposts, you need a "Seat Sandwich" ($14.95)

The B73 features bag loops to permit the use of a traditional English-style touring bag.

Current production has black frames with chrome springs.

B73 Black SA155 $139.95

Note on Brooks pricing: Brooks has changed its U.S. distributor, and the new distributor's wholesale prices are much higher. As new stock comes in, our prices will be adjusted accordingly, on a model-by-model basis.

This is the model that came as standard equipment on the top-of-the-line Raleigh Superbe Roadster 3-speed.
