Subject: [CR]Yet another thought on Brooks Saddles

I do a lot of mail order business over the net. However, may I point out that your LBS can get you any kind of Brooks Saddle you want, and if you have a good relationship with them, they will give you about as good a price as internet folks and you won't have to pay shipping. Ya, I know about sales tax. The point I am making here is if you have a good relationship with a LBS, you'd better get them what business you can. Life isn't easy for these folks...you either use a business you value or you lose a business you value. Use the net for what you must or what is much cheaper, but remember all the times a local bike shop has done you a favor or helped you out in some way. Aren't you glad they're there? They sure add to my cycling enjoyment. Just my two cents worth,
