Price drop: Brooks Swallow saddle with large copper rivets

The saddle was bought on a whim from eBay .

It is in excellent condition…no tears or rips but the interesting thing is that it has large copper rivets.

Specifications to follow.

£87.50 including RM Tracked 48 postage and PayPal fees.

Campag Record headset (1” threaded) unused and still in its box with its instructions…bought it on here recently but used a Tange-Seiki headset instead.

£35 including RM Tracked 48 and PayPal fees.

Hey Marx, I think it’s a swift that has been cut. It looks pretty good. Best

It has the appropriate Swallow riveted metal ‘depose’ connector underneath…I think it is a genuine Swallow.

PM re headset

Replied.

Headset sold STP. 😎

Ok…you be the judge…compare the photographs of my saddle and a Swift….plus a photo of a current Swallow from Brooks website.

Another comparison between my Swallow and a Swift…note you need a leather flap to attach the Depose plate and that is not possible with a Swift.

Hey, thanks for the correction and clarification - after checking it seems Brook did do a special range called the 'Swallow select' with copper rivets. Looks very nice indeed! All the best selling it.

Thank you for correcting your comment…I wish politicians would do the same…much appreciated… but initially you had me worried.

I might just keep it.

I will include the Brooks spanner, a part full jar of Proofide and a Brooks rain cover.

Brooks Swallow saddle: £84>£80

Headset is now sold

I will give the saddle a further 24h…if zero interest…I will try Retrobike and then eBay.

That Swallow is class. Want > need.
