Nice looking Colnago, but I wonder if Berk sells many saddles in the UK?

My 15yo needs a new frame. I bought a 56, based on the stack and reach compared to my wife's frame and endurance frames from Trek, Cannondale, and Specialized that are in my kid's height range.
Really hoping this thing isnt too large. She should continue to grow, which will help. I think at worst we will need a shorter stem than whats spec'd on the big brands for her size.

At $150 for the frame and fork, its a dang steal. Aluminum frame and carbon fork with beefy alloy steerer.
It delivered in 3 days and I looked it over last Thursday. Tonight is a quick wheel on measurement process to compare everything to her current bike and my wife's(which my kid fits).

Me too!

Packaging states manufactured for Brooks England LTD, made in Italy - distributed by Selle Royal S.P.A., Pozzoleone, Italy.

The tape is great - glad I picked it up.
Each piece is plenty long (about 7 feet), so it doesn't need to be stretched much. Also came with 2 leather strips to place along the shifters, 2 rubber bar ends, and 2 finishing strips.

Selle Royal own Brooks.

I think all the leather is still sourced in the UK, or at least that's what there rep led me to believe a few years ago.
