Brooks: White swallow...

Email just in:

Worth the wait as it’s the first time Brooks have ever made a white leather
saddle.

Strictly limited to x 125 pieces they will be for sale via Stussy outlets.

An amazing opportunity for us to work with the oldest bicycle components
company in the world, putting a modern twist on Brooks Swallow saddle - a
true design classic.

Wrote Stussy on the box?

probably added the swallow pictures and the hanging swallow thing.

Chose white. Which, I seem to recall, already existed.

i'm happy with my Ti Rolls!

2nd release. first 100 or something were released to the biggest brooks sellers.

Now some custom chopped white Team Professionals woulda been good: I can't see why teeny small rivets on a swallow = £120, mahoosive rivets on a Team Pro = £60.

There are some nice Brooks shots on here though...http://www.wilsonbrothers.co.uk/

I don't think you can get leather from Swallows. Could be wrong though.

Edit: Just asked a guy at work and he says you can only get leather from Cows, Crocogators and Unicorns.

Nice how the description for the dies is ''logo stampers'' - that's well techy!
Look there's that Cinelli tall bike down there below the Brooks shots. ''Sooooo hot right now!!' does this guy write for a fash mag??

Better tasting bird spit soup

two years in the making??? what exactly? that fucking bird? what a complete JOKE! nice saddle but absolutely pathetic, pathetic marketing/hype. These will sell like hotcakes though- "limited edition stussy white? fuck yeah"

stussy?

very late 80s.

did nobody tell you? stussy is (the epitome of) cool again thanks to the mystery that is eighties revival.

they brought out a limited run of white saddles last year for something else........yawns

yeah yeah I already said all this a few posts up, dogs confirms that the original white run were given to best Brooks dealers or some shit. So these are kind of the first, since you couldn't buy the first lot.

Bet yeah Superp, what exactly took two years? The packaging?

Oh yeah and saddle angle is well dodge in that photo.^
