Brooks saddle

[Tom]

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

[stefano]

Re: Item Two

A soft cloth is ideal - place round the tube where you clamp and hey presto, damaged cloth, happy bike!

re item two:

This is made just for that purpose.

As Brooks saddles are made in Sunny Smethwick, Birmingham, England, you could always contact them and ask who has them in stock....

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.
