Rivendell Riders Brooks Saddle

[Marty]

Came across this by accident today, and couldn't help but think it would be nice to have one. Minimum order mandate from Brooks I suppose...

Marty,
Let me know if you decide to coordinate an order. Perhaps you could
get saddles based on the new B17 select (see
http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/s6.htm).

I'd sign up for one!

[Marc Schwartz]

Is that lil' honey from the very earliest Rivendell days? First printed catalog?

I will also be a volunteer for the revival batch (only need around 3,000 more pre-orders (wild guess))

Thanks, Marty, I just burned a half-hour cruising through Mr. Siple's very excellent photos.

I would too. Maybe even a couple of saddles. 

[Liesl]

Count me in, too. -liesl

Put me down for one, especially if we go for the organic cow hide version.

I don't particularly believe you need a large pre-order. The saddles won't be any different than normal production saddles with the only difference being the unique stamping. Assumably, the stamp already/still exists since I can't believe there were so many Rivendell Riders saddles made that they wore out the metal stamp. So it's a matter of finding the stamp and arranging for a window of a normal run with special stamping.

[Dan McNamara]

I'm in for one as well. Maybe two!

I'd take at least one... 

[Mojo]

I am in for 1 or 2.

[Rob]

That's pretty sweet. I'd be in, depending on price.

Yep. Depends on price, but I'd definitely consider it.

Rivendell should have these normally for sale.

 

I bet they would sell alot with the new bike sales. Even if it was more expensive than a standard Brooks model, I bet people would splurge a little and get it put on the bike.

But I would hope they would be priced the same as a standard Brooks saddle, whatever model they are stamping. 

[steel lugs]

Definitely like the recently released B17 'Select' model ("the bestest one yet", per Grant): http://www.rivbike.com/product-p/s6.htm

But if they swapped out the matte black enamel steel rails with copper and added RBW stamping, I could see it being one of their best sellers ever.

Sounds like an 'early adopter' project worth pursuing... count me in.

It seems like Rivendell would benefit from using Kickstarter (or some
other assurance contract system) to revive older products and launch
new ones.

If I could commit $180 dollars or so to a Select version of the
Rivendell Riders saddle, I may. If a similar commitment would help the
Ventile riding jacket along, or periodically revive the bullmoose
(dull-brite!), or bring back the polo-neck riding sweater, I'd be
first in line!

This is an interesting idea, which might allow easier funding of new projects (and give some insight into whether a Riv-sympathetic group would buy such products). Seems like it could be helpful.
