  Here's a dead ringer for the English made Swallow Leather Saddle that retails for $269.00.  This saddle features similar length and virtually the same width to the England's Best, only it's just a bit softer!  This saddle makes a great gift... Perfect for restorations, or for anyone who appreciates that authentic RETRO LOOK!

Great for the FIXIE RIDER, RACER, TRIATHLETE, or TRACK cyclist. 

Why pay more? The English Made Swallow which sells for more than twice as much!?

There was a time, not all that long ago, when a cycle seat just got better with age, conforming to the your anatomy, instead of assaulting your backside! If you're like most of us high mileage cyclists, then you've probably already got a small pile of plastic seats collecting dust in your garage, so...

*GIVE YOUR BACKSIDE A SPECIAL GIFT THIS CYCLING SEASON!

A proper leather seat once broken in, is something that goes unmentioned after the ride!

NOTE: This auction is for the Black Leather version.  

Ride a Classic Style Leather Saddle!   European quality at half the price.

We have just recently added the Cardiff Cambria saddles which will be available in both brown and Black. These seats are going to be very popular with the fixed gear crowd, Looks like a natural for a Track Bike as well.
Perfect for those of us that that prefer a traditional leather saddles.  We traditionalists will finally have a little choice outside of the Brooks Monopoly...  Especially great news now, as Brooks prices continue to increase. (BROOKS pricing just spiked upward again in August) So, it's sure nice to see another manufacturer of quality leather saddles. The company producing the Cardiff saddles has been in the furniture business for some time, and the saddles are a new venture.
The Cardiff appears to be using a much more supple leather from Australia of equal thickness to Brooks. Very similar in suppleness to the now discontinued BROOKS Preconditioned saddles.

The Cambria (formerly known as the GULL) model is roughly the same width and shape as the Brooks Swallow (153mm wide) so it's going to be optimum for riders who primarily use the racing position.

The Cardiff CAMBRIA is a narrow racing saddle. It has a fully trimmed apron. It's 285mm long and 150mm wide, so again, it's comparable to to the Brooks Swallow in size and shape.

Cardiff Cambria, formerly called the GULL, saddles are made of the finest Australian cowhide. The frames are sturdy chrome plated steel. The nose adjustment bolt takes a regular Allen wrench (It's included) rather than a proprietary spanner. A special anti-stretch material is laminated to the underside to increase life. The midsection of the aprons are riveted together underneath so the saddle won't splay out over time.

Saddle weight: 536g.
