Brooks issue a new Despatch for Oct 2013

[Danneaux]

Hi All!

Brooks have issued a new Despatch for October 2013; it can be viewed here: http://us1.campaign-archive2.com/?u=779d0fc02cc4843db052687bf&id=bb0e2e1f93&e=9fe9e6dc64

Chief among the topics is announcement of a new version of the canvas-and-rubber Cambium, modeled after the Imperial with a large cutout in the top surface. As yet unnamed, Brooks considered the "Climax" then has pulled back from that thanks to concern over contemporary meanings for the term and the unintended humor that might follow. To weigh in on the name, you can fill out a survey here: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/CAMBIUM-Climax

They're looking to send out 50 samples worlwide for testing. A direct link for registration is here: http://www.brooksengland.com/cambium/Register.aspx

Other topics include an early announcement for the "L'Eroica Britannia", scheduled for 20-22 June, 2014 and a video showing the 2013 Retro Ronde in Oudenaarde, Belgium (Direct link here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=UWc9uxg5yPo )

Best,

Dan.

Thanks Dan, I've registered my interest with Brooks. Hopefully I'll be one of the lucky 50, I love Brooks saddles.
