B68 in Honey color discontinued =8-(

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

Seems that Brooks will be offering the B68 and B68S only in black color now.
:( :( :( :mad: :mad: :mad:

It's beyond me why they are doing this. Maybe they feel they need to cut back on other models now that they are making new cutout Imperials??
The B67 and B66 (sort of like the B68 but with springs) are apparently still going to be made in black, brown, and honey.
So if you need a honey B68, better find one now and get it before they're gone.
Some places are already out of stock of the honey ones.

Lisa-

Is anywhere that you know if *in stock*? I've been trying to find one, and haven't had any luck (of course, when I talked to Bill, he didn't mention that they had been discontinued - he said he was expecting a new order in ~5 weeks).

they might well be getting some more in stock- but once the supply runs out no more will be made, apparently. They are already listed only in black on the Brooks England site.

I just bought a spare for myself in Honey here:

I phoned my order in to be sure I received the B68 and not a B68S.
They are on sale right now there!
Here's what i just paid a few minutes ago:
Subtotal for saddle: $84.99
Shipping: $4.99
Tax: $0.00
Total:$89.98
A real good price. (thank my husband for finding it) :) This was the cheapest if you figure in shipping cost when comparing.
Don't know if they have more or not, but worth a phone call.

If they run out, a couple more places:
Ben's (http://www.benscycle.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=338_339_583&products_id=2879)
and
speedgoat (http://www.speedgoat.com/product.asp?part=131683&cat=41&brand=35)

This freaks me out because the B68 is the ONLY leather saddle that fits my wide sit bones and has no springs. What are they thinking???
All my saddlebags are canvas and have honey colored leather straps and they wouldn't look as great with a black saddle. In my opinion, black saddles tend to look like fake leather or vinyl. :(
