For Sale: Brooks Swift, honey

Posted on
  • Lovely rich honey coloured Brooks Swift, near new. Bought here a couple of weeks ago. SOLD

    Seller said only used for a couple hundred miles, seems to be accurate. I fitted it, used it for 20 miles, does not suit. I have treated it with several doses of neatsfoot oil, but it is not yet even beginning to be broken in.

    Dibs/pm please.

  • Dibs!

  • Sold to Thoma.

  • this the one from ebay a few days back? Quite fancied that but then ebay took last months bill out and wasn't enough left to bid, grrrr

  • Fuuuuuuuu*! Mine was just stolen in Shore- Fing- Ditch!

  • Sorry chaps, it was too good to miss. Sad to hear about the theft. I may have to invest in a little security.

  • When locking up, I put a Tesco bag on mine....

  • this the one from ebay a few days back?

    No, bought here from Primitive Robot.

    Thoma, get a steel cable lock to run through the rails. Else it will be half-inched if you leave it on the street.

  • As Glowboy suggests or get a Brooks cover for wet conditions....mine does not say Brooks so does not draw attention to itself....put a simple chain through the saddle rails....not much in itself but might do enough to discourage an opportunistic thief.....last resort is take seatpost and saddle with you!

    Spa Cycles do a nice Swallow copy for £45 and an equally nice Swift Copy for £40

    Some of the saddles are out of stock till the middle of March but worth a look.....cheaper than any Swallow and most Swifts plus Spa don't sell rubbish!

  • Or you could get a set of allen security bolts or torx bolts for seatpost and clamp.
    tealeaves dont carry tools for either, and mole grips dont help them either

  • Do you ship internationally?

  • I would, but it's sold and posted.

  • I would, but it's sold and posted.

    Poor lad is not having much luck at the moment!
