how come you are dumping them? I know people that love them!
(i guess the answer is that people don't think to buy them from you ??)

My husband likes his very much. He wonders if the TE Ebay ones are the "Clydesdale" models or not.....

Nope - all of them are the non-Clydesdale version.

I can't go into any detail, but we simply made a decision not to work with the company any longer. It has nothing to do with the saddles themselves, which continue to be the fine product so many people have come to love.

If TE sold Brooks B67 saddles, I'd buy two...
(hint, hint!)
No kidding, Susan, I think if TE sold the Brooks B67 and B68 saddles (not the B67-S and B68-S) I would imagine the market would go for it.

It's already in the works! We are in discussions with them, and hope to have them available soon. I think that the quality and reputation of Brooks saddles are outstanding, and look forward to offering them to our customers. And yes, I would LOVE some testimonials. Feel free to email me directly, or PM me, whatever works for you.

I think the one 'issue' would be that to be successful, you'd have to offer a very similar return policy to the outstanding one that Wallingford offers.

Sheesh, texaspam, the way you show up to only push Selle An-Atomica saddles is kinda weird.
And now that TE isn't selling them for, I'd guess, pretty good reason and nothing to do with the saddles themselves, it's even weirder.

Hi Susan,
can I post my 'saddle hopes' too?
Would you consider also Selle Italia and Selle San Marco products in addition to Brooks? I am sure that other people on TE also use their seats, and would be happier to buy here and support TE, rather then order them through the shops...
I'll be glad to send testimonials on specific models if you like. Thanks for your consideration!
