Cheers Ed, Hugo, I'll check those pedals out. I much prefer riding with cleats but, aside from being my new touring steed, this will also be my about-town bike at the weekend and I get fed up wearing SPDs when I'm just dicking around locally. Double sided is no doubt the way forward. Presume you can't fit toeclips to those shim pedals?
Hugo, the flyer is the one I was thinking about - stiff springs, and I think it's basically a B17 in profile right? I'll have a chat in the LBS. If the springs damp potholes but don't give spongy acceleration then I'll go for it. I've never had a Brooks so I can't relate to the comfort claims for the non-sprung saddles. I've never really had a comfortable saddle. The ritchey pro streem 2 I just put on my road bike is akin to self harm, but it has dented the weight of the bike. Weight (thank god) is not a concern on this bike.
