You can preorder them :wink: http://www.brooksengland.com/catalogue- ... d+Edition/

All reviews seem positive. I would not mind having one, just not the attached price of € 145.00 .

Looks like a cool option to have.

Looks like Brooks has succumbed to political correctness. Leather...OH NO! :roll: I wonder how long it will be before Brooks eliminates leather entirely. Any bets? Gary

The brand already appeals mainly to the high end road bike crowd, I think this was a limited run, or at least a test run to see what they could get the pro's who prefer their "space age" materials to buy. I think Brooks is making enough money as is, so I dont think this will change the "real" seats at all.

This looks just as comfortable and costs much less. :lol:

Okay...I just read where it's made from rubber.

For some reason looking at the photo above it looked like fiberglass. :lol:

Will be interesting to see how durable it is compared to a leather saddle.
