It's not exactly the same I don't think. I am VERY anal about this kind of thing! I'll check it out IRL just in case thanks Steve.

I'm thinking about getting some for my pompino instead of the black brooks. I'd read around on the interwebs that it's not a bad substitute... But as you say, I'd want to see it in the flesh as it were.

You're going to break these in before the big ride yeah?!

That's what the proofide's for baby. Plenty of miles to be getting on with!

Ive got some neatsfoot oil, but you veganoids will probably not want to use that, to be honest I dont like the idea of it.

ha. I've got a leather saddle, can't really be a hypocrite can I? Just googled it though and did a little shudder.

Brookes aren't aero. Fact.

Brooks are well comfy when broken in. Fact.

Meeting Relocation!

9 vicarage road kings heath (red door) 8:30pm

Short notice or what? We were at the dog waiting! Making our way now, might be late.

Totally my fault...not very well and some equipment arrived here. Nobody is here yet don't worry.

However, if you can't do that distance in half an hour I'm worried :P
Straight up the Alcester Rd, turn off right after the big church in Kings Heath, one of the first houses with bus stops in front, red door as Matt says.

If you guys needs more panniers, I can help make DIY panniers which work well. This was my setup on my recent trip:

look good hash. are they light tho, the bucket panniers?

Looks like an excellent touring setup.
