A new Brooks saddle?

Do you mean a leather one? ...That's not such a daft question because
Brooks do make/will be making more ordinary plastic saddles now the
company has been taken over.

I've checked the site but cant't see any...

cheers,

According to Cycling Plus there is to be a new Brooks Swallow.
Brooks is now owned by Selle Royal of Italy and their product man had been
tasked to revive a number of items.
There are also plans for revival of a Brooks leather tool roll and a small
saddlebag.

So it looks as if what you heard was right.

Darth Ben "Kinetics" Cooper is at the IFMA show in Germany and is
reporting back to the Kinetics bulletin board
(http://www.kinetics-online.co.uk/bbs/). To quote, "And finally, their
new saddle, the "Swallow" was on the stand, and it was every bit as
stunning as expected. Retail is probably going to be in the region GBP125"

Don't know if that's a race saddle or what, but Ben can probably tell
you. email is

You don't get it do you? Its a Brooks. It breaks you in, not the other way
round.

Sheesh!
