I saw these saddles at the cycle trade fair in Cologne/ Germany back in September. They look great, but the UK distitributor does not have them yet. So It looks like I wont be able to get them till 2007 anyway. Brooks have also brought out 2 new Jerseys & a new handlebar grip using bicycle spokes for adjustment.

For the 2007 Swallow Limited Edition: 999 numbered pieces, carefully stitched by hand. This time it is only offered in black (with silver rivets); the 2005 Swallow Limited Edition was offered in Antique Brown and all 999 examples were sold out.

Now, onto the Sprinter version. The catalog says this version was the choice of track riders through the 1950s and 60s (is it true?). Will be available as a limited edition of 1925 pieces, and only available in brown (looks like a very, very dark brown). Weight is 435g (vs. 370g for the Swallow).
