• Brooks Professional S in honey with copper rivets (not a Team Pro!)







    Overall good condition - there are some scuffs at the rear of the saddle, and it looks as if at some point it became very slightly dry - although I have been regularly proofiding it for the last couple of years (even though it has just sat on the shelf for most of that time) - please see pictures for details. The colour goes from honey to a dark chestnut brown in the middle (looks a bit grey in the pictures - much better in real life). The rivets will come up bright again with a bit of Autosol or toothpaste, if you prefer them to be shiny. The 'S' means it is technically a ladies model - a little shorter and wider than a gents - although I still find it very comfortable.

    I'm not sure how old this saddle is - I know it's not an early 60s one, and it's not an 80s one, so I'm going to assume it's from the 70s (-ish). The metal whatsit is stamped 'Made in England' and the leather itself is stamped with '4G9' - does that mean anything to anyone?

    £40 by First Class Recorded delivery. Please put a dibs in the thread and then send a PM. Paypal/bank transfer/cheque are all fine. There's another Professional S on ebay at the moment for £120 (!!!) so I reckon the price is pretty good.

    Also note that I'm away at the weekend, so unless paid for tonight, this'll probably not get posted until Tuesday morning (or Monday afternoon depending on when I get back). If you want to pick up, I live in Coventry and I'm in Oxford this weekend.

    Thanks for looking!

  • Am I missing something special about the 's' ?
    Isn't lfgss mates rates?
    brooks pros on ebay are going for £25 - £40 (£40 being in a better condition than yours)
    Otherwise scuse my ignorance

  • They are Team Pros, not Professionals which is (as I understand) an older and rarer model - the only two Professionals on a buy-it-now price are over £100. But yeah, okay, taken your advice and dropped the price a bit.
