careful let's not all rush or they'll put the prices up ;)
Weird how stuff goes up, Cavendish were selling black regals last year for similar price that Tika got hers. And the price of Brooks has gone through the roof. Which is weird as they should be doing really well on international sales right now as our dear old pound is so weak.
I remember spending age thinking about whether I should spend £35 on a Brooks B17 saddle a couple years ago!

they look like the new repro ones not NOS ones

I think they are new, Dale... The NOS thing sounds like bollocks to me...

went straight up and saw ma9n3t taking the shots, good call fella, i think they are cheaper than whats stated - it said 59 on the tag, i got some hutchy tires reduced from £30 - £20, got the whole lot for £77.
so on my calculations that put's the saddle at £37, i got the brown rolls, gold rails.
priced up some wheels,very reasonable there for sure

i have been assured these were found at the back of a warehouse and are new old stock...
@teenslain if you are keen to know for sure, go and check markings yourself, [as you see in the pic saddles are cable-tied to Condor cardboard thingies which makes almost impossible to see markings without cutting cable ties] i no expert in field of rolls or san marco :{)

i paid 45 for the regal but still wanna try the turbo or rolls. i have a white one in case someone fancies a swap.
I have a white super turbo i may want to swap. one scuff to the side at the back but other than that its mint. It was nos when i picked it up last decenber. Straight out of the 80's/90's.

easy check, look at the date stamp on bottom of saddle.

A bit over a year ago a Rolls could be had for ~£18.00 (from Parker, etc), before it was 'reissued'. Same goes for the Regal; I got my ti rails version from the States for $70 and I remember the standard steel versions were going for less than £30 from a number of online UK shops. What a shame they're all of a sudden new (or NOS), so cost 3 times as much.

SJS are still selling it for £30 on their eBay store but it is £40 on the website.
Not cool considering I bought one for £22 from them in July last year.
