On another topic, I finally today received two British Racing Green B-17 Champion Specials that had been on backorder from Nashbar for over 3 1/2 months. It had been so long, I had to check the invoice to see if I got a good price, as I'd long since forgotten what I paid. Have LBS's been experiencing this sort of delay on Brooks? Has it been all models/colors or just the green ones? Maybe my receiving these is an indication that Brooks is finally catching up with demand. Always hesitate to mention Nashbar, as the LBS owners here see them as a rival. On the other hand, they have retained more interest in classic-type stuff than their parent Performance, and are a pretty fair source for classic stuff, although their classic offerings are sporadic and unpredictable.

I kind of like Nashbar's Brooks prices, as mine are significantly lower in all cases!
(140 bucks for a Team Pro? Yikes! I sell them for $110).
Brooks is still playing catch-up on some models, but it's getting better, due to the normal lower demand in the Fall, I suspect. I have most of them in stock in most colors. No BRG Team Pros yet, though ( BRG B-17 Champs are in).

P.S. My Saddles page is down at the moment, sorry..... Arishost hasn't been able to figure out exactly what's wrong, so far....
