Please note, their online store will be closed 27th July to the 15th of August, so you will need to place any orders before then.

Lots new in this issue...
= A new Union Jack Swallow limited edition saddle in red, white, or blue in a special box.
= Some of their canvas bags are now made in Tuscan Italy (as well as the usuall leather stuff in Manchester as well as Birmingham).
= Brooks have signed on with a 3-year L’Eroica sponsorship deal.
= There's the usual updates to the Blog and Cinema section, with rider reports on the new organic saddles.
= A vintage redux of Paris-Brest-Paris on classic road bikes from the 1930s (with photos! An homage to Hubert Oppermann; Australians take note!).
= Riding the cobbles of Flanders.
= Brooks at the London Nocturne (penny-farthing and Folder enthusiasts take note).
= Oooh! A presentation of the Hampstead Holdall for over-shoulder carry or mounting to a rear rack.

Interesting stuff. Enjoy!

Best,

Dan.

Well, sadly, I can't afford to shop there...

But it is still fun to read about what they have on offer. Kinda like window-shopping on the High Street. I also do the same with some of the bike shops in neighboring towns. I visited a couple up the Valley north of me recently and saw a Giant TCR Advanced SL 0...on sale at USD$10,329. That's £6,661.87! Lovely, but the poor thing had no way to carry panniers and camping gear...pity. I just had to pass.

I think it is worth noting the really incredible deal one gets on Brooks saddles when added at the time of a bike order from Thorn. I've never seen a better price or deal, and if one was ever even considering a Brooks, that is the time to get one.  A great incentive to place an order for that dream Thorn... Far less than £6,661.87, and you can carry panniers!

Best,

Dan.
