[RBW] Re: PSA: Brooks B68

[Garth]

Eric, I can assure you that what Tradeinn sells is regular first quality 
retail goods. I recently ordered a pair of Santini winter bibs and a 
Stronglight chainring, all arrived in it's retail packaging of course. 
Shipping was slower than the estimate, but I've ordered things from Europe 
before and that is typically the case. Anywhere from 2-4 weeks for 
non-premium shipping. Sometimes the orders are slow to process in the first 
place, to even be sent out for shipping. Other times it sits in the airport 
for days/weeks. US shippers have nothing to brag about though ! Customs can 
take awhile too. What's funny is if you buy premium shipping, it comes in 
days. Merlin Cycles orders certainly did, from the UK. 

 Retail goods from reputable retailers that sell for less in another market 
other than the US market doesn't mean you're getting anything less. Myself 
I only purchase overseas from well known/reputed retailers. Not everything 
costs less however, it's a case by case basis. Not everything is available 
either, with the geo fencing some retailers are forced to agree to, or they 
don't get to sell anything from that mfr.

With Tradeinn do note the shipping cost of larger/bulk/heavy items as the 
ship price can skyrocket quickly !

Keith: Maybe? I have been under the impression that Trade/BikeInn sell 
seconds, discounts and other miscellaneous stuff they get their hands on. 
They've had small amounts of B68s in the past when no one else did, long 
before Riv got Brooks on board for whatever weird deal they have going 
currently.

Does this mean Riv can start selling the a la carte?

[RBW] Re: PSA - Brooks B68 Saddles IN STOCK

[maxcr]

I got one as well and it got here very quickly - I was surprised! And even 
more surprised when I saw a B68S (BROOKS ENGLAND B68 Short Carved Laced 
Saddle Black 230 x 200 mm) new for a reasonable price at BikeInn - I 
ordered it for my wife's Susie... still waiting for it, apparently it 
shipped from Spain.

Thanks for the heads up Laing!

Max who now has two more saddles than bikes (four really if you count my 
old Flyer and the Terry gel one)

[Pam Bikes]

I looked at it briefly.  I have the B68S w/the shorter nose so I think this 
is the one w/out the S - longer nose.  Keep me posted if you see a B68S.
Thanks,
Pam
