Following that link to the Brooks website that lists profiles of users, I can vouch that at least of one of them, 'Guy', is not a model. That is Guy Hills, who runs 'dashing tweeds' a company that specialises in tweeds for cycling that glow in the dark.

There are some more pictures in the Brooks site; see especially http://brooksengland.com/styleonthemove/ . Also identifies the bike as a 1956 Hetchins, not 46, which it seems more like, to me.

The bag's only $409, too. I think I'll take a dozen. Maybe two.

Yes, I think that is silver Benotto bar tape.
