Comes with the Proofide, wrench, saddle cover, and some sort of buffing cloth with the Brooks logo on it. Free FedEx shipping. (ordered it Monday, it arrived today, Wednesday!)

I found it cheaper on the web... but with wallbike's return / exchange policy on Brooks saddles (this is narrower than my Team Pro) I thought it a smart buy, and I also want to see Wallbike succeed - they are in post Katrina New Orleans - and doing OK from the sounds of the folks I talked to when I ordered.
I wonder what they do with RETURNED saddles that folks did not like - do they have "used" on their website?

I had a Brooks Pro on a road bike and it was broken in wonderfully. Then I was rear ended by a pickup truck and the saddle was destroyed. Since my sitting bone was also maimed, I was not able to break in another Brooks - felt like plywood. But maybe a returned saddle would have been tamed a bit even if the user's anatomy varied somewhat. (G)

Ah, I see that they do have USED stuff listed.
