Brooks C17, too expensive.

[fossala]

I'm a vegan that rides a brooks saddle (bought it before I turned vegan). I was really looking forward to the release of the C17. But at € 145 it's too much money I think.

I'm a bit disappointed but brooks are know for milking it.

EDIT: Not only this but you're unlikely to have it delivered until after September!

So don't buy one then,& if you don't buy one,there will be no delivery date,simples.

Well I dont care what its made of but have ordered one of the Ltd edition C17's they are apparently sending out in July as depend when you order they are sending out a small number early and the rest in Sept, so will see how I get on.

I think Brooks saddles in general are getting expensive fast. I bought my first flyer special three years ago and it was £65 now they are £95.

I bought my team pro ti 2 years ago for 110gbp. I got a 50% off code on here for their website.

So it's just a rubber saddle. Dunlop made them years ago, I own two.
