The designator "Champion" can be found on all B17's.
Got it.
There are several confusing statements on the Brooks site.
At least there is nothing confusing about the "Champion" model, which is not mentioned once on the Brooks site. It pretty much confirms that for some reason this name is used only for the North American market. Don't really see why though...
Also I've seen that Brooks have setup their own online shop now, and boy they're not going to get my money, it's freaking expensive!
I ordered a Team Professional Copper two weeks ago from BikePlus for 41 GBP (okay, it was a sale price), the same one on the Brooks online shop is 90 GBP...!
