Hi thanks for helping me out and i was reading the thread when he recieved the bakers/butchers bike and he thought it was a malvern star but he said that the other riders were questioning him about it and they thought it might of been a BSA but not to worry as both bikes were very similar or just the same but without the 2 stars on the front gusset.And if anyone on here is after vintage bike stuff just give me a burl as i've been collecting nos and good secondhand parts for vintage bikes since 1998 and i'm always wheeling & dealing in them cya cuddles.
My hybrid Kona Dew De Luxe has a great British saddle the legendary Brooks saddle.....
A real working 'retro' brand, with traditional quality, the only thing they take a while to wear in but once they are reputed to be very comfortable!

Hard to beat a BROOKS saddle. My 1920's saddle was made by LYCETT who were bought over by BROOKS in the mid 20's (as were a number of small companies). The likes of Lycett, Wrights, Dunlop, Middlemores, Saxon and many more are long gone for making leather saddles, Brooks is that last of them now). Hope the break in isn't too painful..!

I've got Brooks saddle on all my bikes, a B66 (brown) on the Roadster, a Flyer on the tourer and a Conquest on the racer (both black).
I found the B66 and flyer easy to break in, but the Conquest more painful.
Got up and out early at 0630 this Sunday morning for a 25 miler before heading to work. After the last few beautiful springtime days, sadly today's weather was bracing with sleet & biting Arctic winds coming off-shore along the coast.
A mixed bag of weather actually, as there were some breaks in the sleet but I'd totally screwed up in not wearing warm enough kit! Lulled into a sense of false planning by the past few beautiful days!

Not sure Dunlop ever made leather saddles, they did however make leather look 'rubber' type saddles that needed no care however they were nowhere near as comfortable as a well broken in Brooks!
The sadddle on my Raleigh rod braked 'racer' earlier in this thread is a Dunlop hard rubber jobbie.http://www.classicrendezvous.com/Bri...lop/saddle.htm

Had my first cycle with the VCC (Veteren Cycling Club) in County Durham at the weekend. Some very nice post war and pre-war bicycles and a few of the guys dressed in tweeds..etc.
I'm going to have a look at a late 1930's lightweight bicycle (Saxon) over the next few days that I can 'restore' to roadworthy condition - can't wait..!!
Happy pedalling!!
