I for one haven't found them to be that expensive. My race saddles were all well over 100 dollars. Agreed there are plenty of 10 dollar takes offs and things to be found. However by comparison the standard B17 at roughly 90 bucks here in Missouri is NOT in my opinion expensive by comparison to other quality saddles. The B17 (forgot the designation S maybe) with the brass rivets is going for about 145. Once again well within industry standards for a quality saddle.
Selle, Fizek and others have been over 100 bucks for years. So to that end maybe (or indeed) saddles are pricey. I just don't see Brooks being a standout or company to be singled out about price. Just my opinion of course.. . Kelly On Thursday, November 22, 2012 10:47:06 PM UTC-6, Christopher Murray wrote: > > I had not bought a new Brooks in a few years and was shocked at the > prices.
