That B 68 would get snapped up on EBay. Some users here I am surprised have not tried to buy it. I have one in the parts drawer, not sure what I will do with it yet.

Thanks to all those who inquired. Both the Saddle and Multi-tool are on the way to new homes.

As an aside, it does seem that Brooks may have discontinued the B68 a bit prematurely, given the increasing popularity of bicycles designed for a more upright riding position.

Grant mentioned the B68 in the last BLAHG:

"We are hoping Brooks will bring back the B.68. A couple of BLAHGs ago I tried to get every single one of you to write to them (and included a link to do that). I don't know how that worked out, whether or not they WILL, but if they do, we'll have that. In case you missed the opportunity to plead with Brooks to bring back this saddle (wider than B.17, kind of like a B.67 without the unnecessary springs), here's your chance again. Don't tell them Rivendell put you up to it. Just tell them this would make you happy".
