got this in today. its a Troxel Climax. not sure on year. its HUGE and super comfy. its 13 inches front to back. it has a break in the front nose coil so someone sometime wrapped a bunch of wire around it to help it hold. someone said it might be a early motorcycle saddle. i love it. any info on this would be greatly appreciated

Wow! A 3 year old thread back from the dead.
I forgot about it and that I posted in it.
maybe this thread could(should) be moved to the "show me" section?
I've got a few more now. I'll take pix tonite and post tomorrow

I have a Brooks B67 on my cruiser in honey.
I have just purchased a Brooks B17 select for a build of an old lugged English frame that I am currently working on.
The select uses extra thick organic leather so will probably be broken in when I am 90! It also has the hand hammered large copper rivets and the chamfered edges.

Stumbled over this thread while doing a search for a leather saddle I have. I've never ridden on a Brooks or other good saddle so I have no point of reference really. I have though, ridden on some crappy vinyl saddles and know my leather one (i have it on my cruiser right now but am going to switch it to my townie/commuter) feels better than those.
Here's a pic. By the way, does anyone know what kind it might be. I thought maybe it was a Middlemore after comparing it to other pics found on the web. The shape, the tension holes on the side and the logo says TRADE MARK on either side of the middle letters the way Middlemore saddles do...
BUT the middle letters/logo says MS and there isn't a globe. Also, the back of the saddle doesn't have rivet hole for a metal manufacturer plate.
the words above the MS letters I believe say SPECIAL BICYCLES
After I cleaned it up. Nice, huh.
Texas saddle. : )
