For Sale: 2 x brand new Brooks B17 saddles

For sale are two brand new Brooks saddles. I received them as payment for a favour I did for Brooks.

Brooks B17 Standard, brown, £50

This is the standard B17 saddle with black steel rails and chromed steel rivets. The colour is very slightly less of a rich red in real life (nicer, basically). I have one of these in honey and love it... classic and comfortable. It's supplied boxed with Brooks spanner (for tensioning leather). They sell for £70 usually.

Brooks B17 Special, dark green, £65

This is the 'special' B17 with beautiful hammered copper rivets and matching copper-plated rails. I don't think this colour will be around forever. I've seen one after having been used for a while and they age really nicely. Supplied boxed with Brooks spanner (for tensioning leather) and Brooks rain cover. They sell for £90 usually.

Dibs and PMs please. Payment by Paypal ideally. I'd prefer if these were picked up from me (near to Old Street roundabout), but will post at cost (£6+) if necessary.

Thanks for looking,

Josh

Hi

What is the width of the dark green one is it standard or narrow?

both saddles are they same shape, i.e. a B17 standard and not the narrow version. They are 17cm wide at their widest point.

I've had a bit of interest in these but no commitment. I'll be putting them on ebay over the weekend if no one bites in the meantime.

The colour of the saddle in the photos in link:

is darker than it is in the photos in link:

Are any of these photos of the actual saddle you're selling, and which colour is most accurate?

The Brooks photos are generally pretty terrible; they seem to crank up the saturation and contrast, so it looks more vividly green in theirs. On the other hand, the Oi Polloi photos show it to be rather too dark. I would say that the actual colour is somewhere between the two.

I've been meaning to take some photos, I'll put them up when I have. Also, you be welcome to come and have a look.

Crap quality photos added. Green is difficult to photograph and is more green / less black in real life (and is provisionally sold).

I can't be acid jazzed to put this saddle on eBay, so will take 45 if anyone's interested.

Green is gone like megatron.

You mean 45 for brown one?

Josh, if still available I'll take it please.

Just had to re-register, so couldn't PM you yet.

Is brown still available?
