This is the first I have heard of this. So far, I am very pleased with my new Brooks Team Pro, which I am still breaking in. I shall report back in a couple of years. My 1972 Brooks Pro is definitely showing its age after 40K miles, but it is still eminently usable. It will go on the Sieger if its Ideale is not salvageable, otherwise on the UO-8.
