Thanks Gilbert! Good price!
It happens that I ordered the Swallow yesterday from Wallingford Bicycle Parts. They also said that the Swallows are harder to find -- it's one of the reasons I went with the Swallow. I also remember that severely cut-away Brooks profile from a few bikes in the 60's, so this model struck a chord in me.
I'll get it tomorrow or Friday.
