Saddles

History of Southcott Pty. Ltd.

Southcott Pty Limited was founded in Adelaide, South Australia in 1886 as a general engineering business by two brothers, James and Albert Southcott. Over a century later, the company remains entirely owned by the Southcott family and has expanded extensively around the original factory site, as well as operating Australia wide sales offices and service centres in Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide, Brisbane, Newcastle, Devonport, Emerald and Perth.

Involvement in hydraulics began in 1954 with the design and development of axial piston pumps and motors. The Company remains the only Australian manufacturer of these complex units. State of the art facilities are now provided for hydraulic equipment manufacture, including complex manifold circuits and a wide range of hose coupling swaging machines up to 500 tonne capacity.

Southcott Cycle Division ceased the production of bicycles in the mid nineties due to economic climax and turned their focus on marketing and selling state of the art international brands. Southcott Cycle division now operates from two main distribution warehouses, Adelaide and Melbourne, supplying bicycles and parts and accessories to the independent bicycle shops across Australia.

Thrones – The Australian bicycle saddle designed to dutifully serve your royal arse and crown jewels.

Thrones is a performance saddle made for riders seeking the edge for their road bike, tri bike, fixie, track bike, mountain bike, etc.

Our mission is to challenge the fact that bike seats are referred to as saddles.  Saddles are for little guys with squeaky voices who ride horses and need a whip to get it moving.  Saddles aren’t for bikes.

Thrones however are hand crafted for guys that propel their pushies with their legs.  Thrones are designed to make riders feel like a king every time they mount their 2 wheeled machine.

Designed, Refined and tested in Australia.

Hand-crafted in Taiwan

We believe you’ll agree after riding one of our creations that “bicycle saddle” should be banished from the kingdom’s lexicon and be succeeded with the aptly title of “Thrones.” All Hail Thrones!

Thrones – For your royal arse!

Creux Clothing

For too long cycling specific clothing has been out of sync with the average cyclist’s needs. A predisposition to everything lycra, a swathe of unfashionable colours and patterns and kit covered head to toe in meaningless corporate sponsors is not everyone’s idea of must have clothing for your time on the bike.

Well, at least it's not for us.
