4 Calling Brooks, 3 French Vins, ....

Got 3 Swifts and 1 Professional (maroon) with matching bartape.

A Honey Brown set goes to my Tommasini Tecno.

Reserved another Honey Brown set for my future De Rosa Neo Primato.

One Antique Brown set goes on my wife's Titus Ti.

Last Maroon set goes to my wife's Seven Mudhoney!

I'm in the spirit of giving and receiving!

Holy smokes, they are nice.

The colors are so rich, I'm sure they'll give you many years of enjoyment.

I ride Swifts/Pros as well, but also fancy Regals.

Hard to go wrong at any rate.

Did you order your De Rosa yet?

Not yet. Hoping spring of next year. I've kept putting it off by the fact that I keep buying something else. But the NP is my priority and I can't stray.....SQUIRREL!!!!

Hey Peter! How ya liking retirement?

It was nowhere near $1200. Some things are a lot cheaper here in Germany. I paid 780 € for all 4 sets of Brooks plus a Fulcrum CX5 wheels and a Tubus titanium Logo rack.

My wife loves the Swift rght from the get go without a break in period. I tried her Swift and wasn't too fond of it. I'm hoping I will like em. But I think I need a slightly wider saddle at the midpoint. I'll say this, the change to her Titus is awesome! Love the look of brown leather on Ti.

Well done.
