Another Resource, Brooks Select Saddles

I received a new Cycling Plus magazine yesterday. There was an article about the coming Brooks ‘Select’ line of saddles.
I looked on their web arm, Bike Radar, for a link that I could pass on here but I guess they don’t put content from the current issue on the web.
I did a search on the Bike Radar site for ‘Brooks’ and got a long list of Cycling Plus’ past tests of Brooks saddles and gear. This a great resource for anyone who is looking for more information to help them make a decision about a new saddle.
The ‘Select’ saddles will be a line of their more popular models made with special Swiss leather. Pasture-raised Swiss cows make more supple and durable saddles. The leather will be it’s natural color. I expect to see these saddles sometime over the winter.

I have posted a set of pictures on Flickr to show all the narrow Brooks models together.

Dutch dealer Brooksshop.nl has an interesting Flickr photostream. They are showing a few of the new Brooks items that won’t be available here for months. (like the grips in this picture)

Another Shaggy Brooks

John, in the U.K., sent us a picture of this B.66 that he found on Ebay UK. We’ve seen the shaggy B.17 that was give to dealers for ‘09 but John tells us that this B.66 was an earlier dealer award from the Sturmey Archer era. The “7C9″ stamp on the underside indicates, I think, that the saddle was made in March ‘97.
