The latest word on Brooks
From Wallingford's site:
As for me, I'm looking forward to the Ti Pro. It's about time us Pro fans get a Ti frame!!
Sunday, August 14th
Saddle Prices Up - Shipping Cost Down
We have received new price lists from our Brooks distributors and, as promised, saddle prices are up. Some saddles, like the ti models, quite a bit, some not so much. A few have stayed the same and we were able to lower the prices on a couple of models.
Friday, August 12th
New Brooks Products
We have word that there are some interesting new Brooks items in the pipeline. Like:
* Leather handlebar wrap
* B.17N models that are drilled and laced
* Production Swallows in 3 colors (same as limited edition but edge is straight cut, no stitching)
* Leather mud flaps
* Team Pro with titanium frame
The soonest we would have most of this stuff would be October. Could be later. But it is coming. This is all we know for now.

Titanium railed B-17's under $140 bucks on another site. I was going to buy one for a bike I haven't even thought about building up yet!

Well with the price of some plastic saddles approaching $200
I'm not surprized to see Brooks upping their price.
Isn't the Ti Railed Pro the Swift?

Does anyone else have un-kind memories of the stitched on leather handlebar wrap from the '80's?
