• My old b17 has gone hammock soft so need a new brooks.

    My rear has liked both b17s and a team pros, so any of those will def do, colour doesn't really matter.

    Wouldn't mind a swift or swallow though if the price is right

  • is there a bolt under the nose of the saddle that lets you readjust the tension?

  • yeah, it's fully spent. Gave it a good few turns last time i went out, was good for about 20mins then it was hammock again so the leather's far too stretched already

  • Can you not punch holes along the sides and 'lace' the saddle back into shape- as per "back in the day.."? :O)

  • what is your budget?
    new or second hand?

    ah, didn't know you could do that. Might be worth a try but not sure I want to. It's really beautifully broken in now and the leather looks fantastic, think I want to keep it as it is tbh

  • I've got a used black titanium B17... Coupla tiny scuffs on it but almost as new, I'll take £70 for it...

  • what is your budget?

    would prefer second hand, but new is fine too if I can't find anything else. Money depends on condition and model of course

    Think hilarystones prices sets the bar for second hand prices. You got anything going?

    ooh tasty. no need for a ti one though, no point really on a steamroller :)

  • ah, didn't know you could do that. Might be worth a try but not sure I want to. It's really beautifully broken in now and the leather looks fantastic, think I want to keep it as it is tbh

    Why do you want to keep it as it is if it is no use to you that way?

  • Why do you want to keep it as it is if it is no use to you that way?

    fair point but I'm not sure I should attempt to do it on a nice old seat that had its life, don't wanna risk ruining it

    And since I got it hard enough with the bolt but it stretched out again in just a short ride I don't know how much more time I would actually buy it

  • I have a swift and a team pro, both completly NEW, in black and green

  • black swift sounds good, online they're 85 how's 65?

  • make it £70 and it is yours delivered

  • Win it at polo?

  • yes

  • so Kboy, deal?

  • Rik, I'd be interested in your team pro. Price posted to Oxford, please?

  • Kboy if you don't want your old saddle, I can give it a loving home. :)

  • Hi,
