As mentioned here and here, I've been wanting a Brooks for my "road" bike. In desperation for the comfort I have on my touring / commuting bike I've mounted my Honey Team Pro with copper rails to my LeMond Zurich. I ordered a Brooks Swallow from Wallingford Bicycle Parts, and it arrived today.

I'll post a review after I get it mounted and postitioned, as it is a bit narrower than the Team Pro.

Why do I love Brooks, aside from the comfort? The box it comes in, the presentation, the apparent care of every last detail... and yes, this is not a cheap addition to my bike - but having somehting functional and beautiful... that I think is worth it.
