Looking for Brooks swift, swallow or B17 NARROW in stock

[Thoglette]

Anyone seen a narrow Brooks in stock anywhere in .au (forget $$$$ specials)?

I've broken my now-well-out-of-warranty B17 Narrow & would like a replacement (which will go on another frame later) while it gets repaired

Hmm, thought I had seen some somewhere but might have been Bike24, which is far from in au. None at Abbotsford Cycles which is where I normally look for Brooks saddles.

What are the narrow B17s like? I have a B17 on each of my bikes, I had a Swift or a Swallow and it never agreed with me, but the B17s have been great. Wondering what the B17 Narrow is like.

I've got B17s and B17 Narrow - in this case the name says it all. The Narrow is about a cm or two narrower & my choice for commuting: drop bars with the top of the bars just below my saddle (so not "sporty" dropped).
For me, the B17 is comfortable with a much more upright position and the saddle quite a way back (otherwise my thighs tend to catch)

Now, that's all about how broad my pelvis is (or rather, isn't).

Thanks, might try one on my next bike.
