brown LE Millbrook with black B.17CS

We have received our stock of the limited edition, all leather, Brooks Millbrook and Glenbrook saddlebags. Each model comes in honey leather or antique brown leather to match the Brooks saddles. The bags are nicely made from heavy leather and, for this version, Brooks added a long quick-release shoulder strap. We are told that the manufacture of the two models totaled 200 bags. The larger Glenbrook costs $385 and the Milbrook costs $240.

We expect a shipment from Carradice in about three weeks. This shipment should include Super C panniers, the Brompton front bag, and, maybe, the Super C Barley.

David, at Carradice, reports that the long MIA Bagman racks are en-route to them. Production on this popular Carradice accessory has been held up for almost a year with mysterious “quality control” problems. The new ones are said to be an improvement on the last version. Carradice might receive them at the end of the month and we might get some a couple of weeks after.

I just found out that my old customer/friend David is in the Pedersen bike business.

The Pedersen bicycle was first patented in 1897. Over the years it has gone through ownership changes and periods of non-production but it seems  like there is always someone who is intrigued enough by the design to take a chance with it. Design advantages include strength, light weight, and upright comfort.

David brings raw frames to California and modifies them to suit customers needs. He installs the components that make the most sense for the application. His company is Pedersen Bicycles. David is a true enthusiast and he promises that you will get plenty of attention wherever you go on a Pedersen.
