I really like the Brooks that are on my bikes- both B17s, one of'em special and one standard. It just seems like the prices went up quite a bit and am not sure that I would buy another without trying some alternatives. I don't think the exchange played much of a role here- but I'd have to go back and look. I feel like at some point the price gets too high and it is time look elsewhere. Isn't that basically what happened with Toyo? Despite being well made by skilled craftspeople the price got too high for Riv to continue having them make frames.
I am lucky because I have never had an issue with any saddle- rode cross county unsupported on a $15 saddle. If Brooks were the only saddle that worked for me I would buy it with a smile. Cheers!
