I read a few weeks ago about someone getting a Brooks saddle from a shop in Canada, after exchange it was something like $37 for a B17 standard.

Anyone know how to get ahold of this shop?

I'm thinking of getting a B17 as well. There's a guy in Toronto that sells on ebay regularly. Good prices for new saddles (around $60 - 70 CAD + shipping). Search for Brooks Saddles and you'll find him.

I ordered mine from Wallingford Bicycles. They've got a great return policy ... not that I needed it.

I recall the thread too but I'm not sure if the company was ever mentioned.

Two shops that I know of in Ontario, Canada that carry Brooks are Urban Cyclists in Toronto and a shop in Kitchener whose name escapes me right now - darn.

I purchased my two from Wallingford Bicycles. Their return policy is GREAT!

I bought 2 B17's, one from the fella in Toronto via eBAy, and one from Big Twin Cycle.
The price was about the same.
I'd like to know where to get them for $37 though.

Yeah, I got mine from the Toronto Ebay guy too... but a 37CAD seat sounds a little too good to be true, nothing is ever cheap in Canada unless it falls from the sky ;)

B-17's are under fifty bucks US from a little shop in Kalamazoo, MI, Velotimbe. Alfred E Bike. Cheapest price I've seen.

Polly is one sketchy dude, when I went to his shop in 2007 it had bicycles piled like firewood everywhere. Almost Igor Kenk (http://images.google.ca/images?q=igor+kenk&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=0JmzSvrhDsu_lAfu8sH8Dg&sa=X&oi=image_result_group&ct=title&resnum=5) territory.

Also, since this post was from 2005, the prices have probably gone up since then. :)

I popped the guy in Toronto as a scammer/spammer.
I'm going to lock this Lazarus thread and let it sink back to the depths of the server.
