IMHO all Brooks leather saddles will be gone in ten years or so as I have a gut feeling they might want to concentrate on their Cambium line. It's just simple demographics, younger and new riders don't know Brooks or leather saddles in general. They may think they are a relic of the past. The new thing is the carbon-railed whatever or the soft squishy sofa-type tractor seats. But I don't know for sure and could be wrong. Thoughts?

I collect Brooks saddles myself and I have about a dozen of them but none of them are the Swift or Swallow. I do have a Professional but it's the Speedic copy. Most of them are either new or lightly used and I may pick up a new one every couple of months or so.
