I'm resurrecting this post.
I just received my Brooks B18 that I bought from Benscycle.com (ordered it on Tuesday and it came today).
It said it didn't come with a box, but it arrived in the original box, with the proofhide, the cleaning cloth AND a rain cover!

I him-hawed for about 3 months before biting the bullet and buying it. I have to get a new seatpost now (because it's a double rail and my current seat posts won't work), but I'm SOOOO excited to put it on my commuter and ride like the wind.

Thanks for posting this sarahspins, as I never would have known about this site. I just couldn't justify, or even afford, spending $160, but for $80, the decision wasn't too hard.
