Every place I looked is out of stock, and right when I was ready to buy
You know this means price hike.
What luck

Nothing else will do.

Zen-

Sweet bike!!!

What model Brooks are you looking for? I know Lisa mentioned that the B68 would no longer be made in Honey

If i have this right I'd like the B67 (with springs) but would take a B68 if I could find one.
I may have to try a Selle Anatomica if i can't get a Brooks.

Here's a B68: ModernBike and a B67 ModernBike (I can't claim Credit - Lisa sent me these a while ago - as I recall, she had ordered from them.) Alas, I haven't because I'm not sure they will work for me and the return policy isn't WallBike Style

Zen-
Try Ben's, the place I linked to in this thread where I was warning about this issue last month:
http://forums.teamestrogen.com/showthread.php?t=27282

I wound up getting mine from Ben's, and the other places had run out even though one had taken my order anyway mistakenly thinking they had one.
Ben's might have a B67 honey- give them a call.
Also, the other places I suggested were out of B67 honey, but maybe they still have a B67 honey, who knows.
Make some phone calls.

you sure you wouldn't like the darker brown? It holds its color a lot better!

**Zen** · 11-26-2008, 10:09 AM

I looked at that site last night and thought the same thing but just bit the bullet and bought one.
I figure I can sell it if it doesn't work out.

Are you going to change the handlebar tape to match the new saddle? Inquiring minds want to know...

**Zen** · 11-26-2008, 10:37 AM

I think I'm just going to get grips.
i have some on order but if the color isn't right I'll probably get the grips from Gilles Berthoud

**BleeckerSt_Girl** · 11-26-2008, 11:26 AM

Is that a bike that you bought recently? Do you have it already?

Are you going to change the handlebar? (grips

)

If so, are you also changing the downtube shifters for something else?

**divingbiker** · 11-26-2008, 11:43 AM

Zen, I thought you didn't think the Brooks was very comfortable on the C&O trip?

**Zen** · 11-26-2008, 05:18 PM

It was very comfy, just no time to dial in the fit.

She's going upright, with bar end shifters

See that lever on the seat tube? It flips the bottom bracket generator on/off.
Unfortunately, the generator is out of order but the new generator (on the seat stay) will still be able to use it.
