Brooks Colt - Black
Length - 270mm
Width - 150mm
First produced in 1979, the Colt became famous among Brooks fans for
its strength and durability.
The Colt was discontinued amidst mysterious circumstances occurring
with the sale of Brooks in
2001, but still remains a common sight on roads and avenues around the
globe, a testament to its
aforementioned qualities. Oddly many a Colt found its home atop BMX
bicycles during this time,
an unusual deployment for a Brooks saddle, but certainly not
inappropriate.
Today the Colt will appeal to a new generation already romanced by the
80's retro look, and will
therefore be introduced in colours that will appeal to this younger,
style-conscious demographic.
The Colt is now available in Black, Violet, and Mustard, with Pink and
Turquoise being presented
at Eurobike 2010. The vibrant colours are achieved through natural
vegetable dyes, as are all
leathers in the Brooks product line.
