If you think Brooks saddles are works of art, then you’ll love the ones that leather artisan Kara Ginther has embellished. You can see them up close and personal at an exhibit hosted by North Central Cyclery in DeKalb, Illinois. If you are a frequent reader of the Surly Long Haul Trucker & Cross Check forum, you’ll recognize NCC as the Surly-friendly bike shop managed by the knowledgeable and ever-helpful Tobie DePauw, who has shared some of his favorite bike hacks with Outside Up North readers.

So if your travel plans will be taking you into Illinois in early February, stop by NCC to enjoy Kara’s work side by side with some rare Brooks saddles, including the White Swallow, the Shaggy B17, a Bicycle Film Festival Green Swallow, an Alpe de Huez Team Pro, and the new White Team Pro. AND, get this, NCC will be serving wine and cheese at the exhibition’s opening night of February 6, at 6:30 pm. How can you say no to that?
