Subject: [CR]Cheap Brooks Ti Sprinter on eBay

There are currently several Ti railed Brooks Sprinters on eBay amazingly cheap:

http://ebay.com/<blah>

NIP, 5 available, Buy It Now for $175. This is, I believe, the rerelease, with Ti rails, of a classic Brooks track saddle. This rereleased saddle is so new that Wallingford has mentioned it, but does not have a price yet. But retail is over $300 on all the Ti models, and well over $400 on some. $175 has to be well below wholesale. Not sure how this seller gets hold of 5 NIP just released Ti saddles at a cost so low he can sell them below wholesale. Maybe he has friend at the docks.

Hell of a deal if you are interested in this model. But at 133mm wide, it is 19 mm narrower than the Swallow. I'm tempted, but I think I would never ride it, just have it as a conversation piece, and I have too many of those already.

One catch is the seller has positive feedback of only 95.4%, which is pretty low. On the other hand, he has over 8,000 total feedbacks. I believe I've bought from him before with no problems. So if you can stand a little risk and have a really skinny a**, give it a go.
