Cool beans. Thanks for letting us know.

EDIT: Hey I have another brooks beef/ question. Why do Brooks saddles (or at least the b17 and the pro, both of which I use) curve up in the back? Lots of users have to point the saddle upwards to avoid sliding forwards and putting weight on our wrists and perinea. But then the saddle still tends to want to press on your perinieum. I have modded mine with tight lacing to flatten out the tops a bit. This works, but it would be cool for me to be able to get a brooks that came pre-flattened. Lots of old leather saddles like Ideales seem to have flat tops, has Brooks ever considered putting out a model with this feature?
