I've ordered a Brooks Team Pro Titanium, but it's been delayed by such a long time (70 days) that I contacted the factory and they said that in late November their rails-forming machinery broke, leading to a big backlog in Brooks Saddles production. Just to compound things, their Titanium Supplier was late delivering the titanium wire used to make the saddles, too.

So yes, you may have a hard time finding exaclty the right saddle and color from Brooks right now. I've been waiting patiently with my "Black Friday" price on the saddle.

Has anyone had problems with failures in Brooks Ti Saddles? If yes, would you advise me to cancel the order and get 2x saddles with steel rails? This is for a very special, green bike (some of you know what I'm talking about ..)
