A guy named Brooks sent us a picture of his new tattoo. Brooks says “it’s from the 1923 catalogue, as found on the Brooks site.”

Saddles En-Route
September 18th, 2008 by Bill | No Comments | Filed in Brooks, saddlesThe Brooks distributor shipped the following saddle models to us yesterday
- B.17 Champion Special, honey
- B.17N antique brown
- B.17S black and honey
- B.67 antique brown
We should have these saddles later next week. We will make them available on the website when we get them. If you would like to order before then give us a call – 888 731 3537
Hmmm. . .
August 26th, 2008 by Bill | 1 Comment | Filed in Brooks, UncategorizedWe have been sweating the Brooks supply around here. If the importer doesn’t get some saddles in soon we will be out of everything Brooks. Now I see on the Raleigh website that they are putting Brooks’ on many of their ‘09 bikes. Could that explain the shortage?
Brooks Preview
August 21st, 2008 by Bill | No Comments | Filed in BrooksI have seen the Brooks product list for the upcoming year. The much anticipated Imperial is on there – B.17N, B.17S, and B.17, black only. There is also a “Team Pro Tubular Rivets.” I expect this is a more affordable Team Pro made with the machine-set steel rivets of the B.17 Standard, and others, rather than the large copper hand set rivets that we are used to on a Team Pro. The copper-rivet Team Pro will still be available.
As to when we will have the Imperial: It will be introduced at the September trade shows with the goal of having it in the shops by the end of the year. Before Christmas is a slight possibility.

More Bad News From Brooks
August 17th, 2008 by Bill | No Comments | Filed in BrooksI have received word that Brooks is raising prices as of August 1st. I don’t have all of the information but we will be raising our own prices once we have gotten a couple of shipments at the higher price.
