Brooks Cycle Bags Heritage

[@rcBitz]

Once you own a Brooks product there is no going back. Took a trip last year to buy my bag and wonderful experience - thanks.

I've just jumped on here as I've just purchased a beautiful pashley princess sovereign. The Brooks saddle is just lovely and as I'm trying to work out how to proofide it, I'm watching their local firm make bags. I can't tell you how happy I am, that you kept your factory open and in England, I was a machinist 15 years ago and the firm sent it abroad and I secretly have a love of sewing. I'm looking on line right now and getting a bag for my pashley......

I own three Brooks products, a B17 saddle and two Brooks - Challenge saddle bags (made in Italy). I am very happy with the saddle, but one bag disappoints me. The strap assemblies fell apart (still during installation) and I had to take it in for repair. This brought frustration and distrust to outsourced manufacturing.

Makes me proud to be British.

I ride my bike a lot and the strap on Barbican started to tear almost immediately after I started to use it. This was my second bag and I could definitely notice the change in quality. Unfortunately I am not covered by warranty since I just got the bag a month and a half ago from a friend (he bought it about two years ago and used it only a few times untill he gave it to me). I think he even got his bag because at the time I couldn't stop talking how I like mine :) I hope that the issue has been solved, not sure how i can solve mine...

Bought a Barbican Bag two years ago poor quality and manufacture. After barely 2 years the strap is totally frayed and the buckles worn. Brooks is definitely not producing quality goods these days!

[@brooksengland]

James, your bag is covered under warranty. We had an issue with that particular strap material and it has since been replaced. I will PM you to offer a replacement, free of charge.

[@A.J.Lawson]

Brooks England Thank you very much for a fast response and offer of replacement strap.

I know Brooks are now owned by an Italian company which is fine, but on a personal level I will only purchase a Brooks product made in England.

[@worldofameiso5491]

Shame they are now owned by an Italian group.
