Our order of B.17 Imperials is leaving an Ohio warehouse today. We usually get these shipments in 3 UPS days. Not sure with the holiday but they are finally coming.

I just heard from the Brooks importer that there are Brooks Imperial saddles on the water now. Their best guess is one to two weeks. It will take another week to get them here.

There are three models of Imperial: B.17, B.17N, and B.17S. They are black in standard trim. The price is $145.

We have ordered quite a few of these new saddles but I’m not sure how many we will get. If you want to pre-order please call us (888 731 3537) with your credit card and address. When we get the saddles we will fill them as they came in. We will not charge your account until we ship a saddle to you. We cannot promise delivery before Christmas.

Meanwhile. . . we have a B.17N Imperial and a B.17S Imperial that were used for display at Interbike. If you want one of these saddles give us a call (888 731 3537). B.17Ns are intended for racing-style riding. B.17Ss are best suited to shorter riders. The B.17(not N or S) is the best saddle for most riders. Please, please please – don’t order a N or an S just to get one of the saddles that everyone is talking about. If it is not the right shape for you then the cutout won’t matter. You wont be happy with it.

The Brooks Brand Manager tells me that there are three shipments en-route to arrive this month at the American importer.
I have also been told that the Imperial should start shipping at the end of September. There is always a lag for delivery to our shop but we hope that we can have this much anticipated new model for Christmas sales.
