Hey I agree that Brook's saddle are great- that's why I want one. If it's true Brooks are running at capacity, and as a shop you cannot increase the amount of saddles you order then yep your right velocio.
You may be right about the price war being damaging too, but surely there is no need for (illegal) pressure from the distributor to prevent discounting if in a free mkt there wouldn't be any anyway?
I was more alarmed by what appeared to be anti-competitive trading behaviour from a major mark, than actual pricing.
Anyway,it was just something I found mildly interesting in an otherwise dreary day. Nothing to get worked up about.
