The Green Swallow is a Limited Edition of the Swallow Classic, normally sold only in the traditional Brooks colours (black, brown, honey). The hundred pieces are being sold in cooperation with the Bicycle Film Festival in NYC. For each Brooks saddle sold, $100 will be devoted to supporting the Bicycle Film Festival.

The Swallow reproduces the timeless design of all modern racing saddles and was first produced in 1937. This limited edition features the original chrome-plated steel metalwork. The tensioning plate on the underside still bears the original patenting information, retaining the word DEPOSÉ, as the patent for this model was first registered in Paris. Back then, many of the Brooks saddles were in fact exported to the Continent for professional racers in the tours.
