brookes are an english company making saddles in england. or so they say:
Brooks England LTD
(Manufacturing Works)
Downing Street, Smethwick
B66 2PA, West Midlands,
England UKhowever if you order anything from them you get this message:
"Due to new Brexit regulations, UK orders must meet a minimum of £135.
For more information, please read here."
https://www.brooksengland.com/en…it seems the saddles are made in england, shipped to italy for sending out around the world. but they cost less than £135, so if you live in the uk you're shit out of luck. or pony up the extra £20 for the privilege.
- I don't think the sort of people who buy Brookes bikes would even notice that extra £20. You rich cunt.Nairn
- I like the way they say 'spa' rather than 'S.p.A.' which sort of seems its trying to hide the foreign ownershipNairn
- hahaha they sent me a 30% off spam. i was simply looking to see how much a saddle i can't afford and don't need would cost is all.hans_glib
- Wait. Do Brooks only make the saddlery? I thought they did the bikes too?Nairn
- so my 30% discount would bring the cost down to £80 or so.
but i'd have to buy two to get that discount.
effing scammershans_glib - and they make overpriced bike luggage as well.hans_glib
- they are not at all comfortable seats.shapesalad
- but less invasive than a vasectomyshapesalad
- owned by an italian company, but sounds like buying anything niche + british made in northern ireland atm. we have chain reaction for bike shite at leastkingsteven
- got quoted 40 quid postage for a 40 quid tin of paint earlierkingsteven
- They're already severely overpriced. You're paying for 5 letters.garbage
- I used to ride a Brooks C17, really nice seat and was comfortable. I just changed to a Fabric.cc seat when I changed to risers,they give a better upright fit.slappy
- That place is about 10mins from where I live, let me know what you want and i'll steal it.Morning_star
