>>1885875>Just got a Brooks, lads.Me too! Just finished its second ride, long way to go before it’s broken in. Even new it’s not bad though. Better than the hard rubber Cambian my shop let me try for a week anyway.
For such a pricy product the frame is *very* crudely made! Heavy sheet steel stampings, machine marks everywhere, welds that would make them blush in Pakistan. Don’t doubt it’s faithful to the 1898 original aside from the hipster-grade packaging it comes in. The Cambian was much more modern with its aluminum castings, maybe that’s the point though…
Happy enough for now, we’ll see if the hype is real in a few years.
