Well that's odd...

Is anyone here experiencing oddness when going to https://brookssaddles.com/ as opposed to https://www.brookssaddles.com/ ? Is it just me?

Makes me glad I don't own a Selle. I should have named the thread "Selle OWNZ Brooks Site"

A little research seems to indicate that Selle Royale actually OWNS Brooks and is working to keep it alive.

Yeah. I just figured that out myself. Just odd to go to one site and be taken to it's (seemingly) competitor. Mergers are so confusing to people who don't keep up. Like me. lol

Funny, I just got my NOS Selle Royal Prestige, and was amazed at its similarities to some narrower Brooks...

That's what I was figuring, as Brooks would be so far up their butts they could see their dental work if they didn't own them.
