Can anybody advise me please,
Item one,
is the Brooks Champion Flyer available in the Uk.
Item two,
the work stand I have, the jaws are to long to accomodate fixing to the seat stem, I don't wish to damage the tube paintwork or the decals, any ideas of a mod
Regards Tom

Brooks Saddle/Mod to work stand
Thanks folks,
Item one
I have been told that brooks saddles have moved abroad,
Item two
Parker accessory seem a little much if you have to take seat stem out.
I am thinking on the line of a second clamp of a shorter length then a length of tube to clamp the existing one to it
Thanks for all your advice

Moved abroad? Can I ask where this information came from?
I agree that it is a pain having to swap seat posts in this way but many workshops keep a seatpost which they use just for this purpose. I take it that your own isn't long enough to pull out a bit.

Brooks were sold to Selle Royal when Sturmey Archer (the previous owners) went bust in 2003, but are still in Birmingham

That's what I thought.
