WTB/WTT Brooks B17 Champion Special
I’m looking for a B17 Champion Special, the version with skived edges and big rivets. I have one, in an odd grey/green color, from about 20 years ago, that I really like. Never seen another like that. Don’t need the copper plated rails they come with now.
I have for trade a honey Flyer, which I bought nearly-new for a bike I was building up for my wife, but we’ve just moved over her other Brooks. Flyer has barely been ridden but has picked up some scuffs, one mainly, as shown. It is marked Champion, though idk what that designates, if anything.

I really did not want to do this but I have other projects and the little leather seat bag i had with it went on another bike so this is up for grabs.
PM me if you want to make a deal?
That Honey Flyer will look nice on my 74 International.

PM'd...you've got a deal! Also potentially interested in other saddles you're offering.
