I knew the green Brooks Pro was no longer available.

I have the green Pro, have not used it enough to say I love it, but I really do like the way it looks on my yellow 1971 Schwinn Sport Tourer!

Thats looks nice! I've actually been trying for some time to trade my green Pro for a black Brooks Swallow (any color actually) with no success.

What are you looking at? The Swallows go for $290 on that UK site and it's the Titanium model at that.

On US sites, the Ti swallow is $400-$500, while the Chrome model goes for around $170-250

I got my Ti Swallow shipped for $240 when the exchange rate was a lot better a few months ago on Total Cycling.com. I was also able to get a Campy Record Crankset for $200 when they sell in the US for $350-$500.

This site, TotalCycling, has better prices on them.

Friend of mine searched for months to get a green Team Pro. He finally got one, but then he crashed pretty bad and the rails were all twisted up and ****.
