Dutch rider W.H. Scholten has posted a pretty comprehensive set of in-depth reviews for leather saddles, mostly Brooks.

Blogger Woollypig has posted text, photo and video from his recent tour of the Brooks factory. The short videos are quite nice in the way they illustrate the old industrial process and the way the craftsperson is involved.

UPDATE 3/2/10: Wired Magazine has picked up on Woollypig’s blog and featured it in their Gadget Lab blog.

Handcrafted leather saddles

Originally uploaded by Busyman Bicycles

“Customized bikes, hand crafted leather saddles, bar covers, toe straps, and a PHD. . .” is the tagline on Mick Peel’s “Busyman Bicycles” blog.  Mick does some very interesting stuff with leather, and saddles, and fixies. Lots of pictures on his blog and photostream.
