B72 Brooks Shipped/ New Leather

SOLD
Originally listed at clearly to high a price. I do want this to go to someone on this forum so dropping to $105 shipped.
I had this recovered by Brooks about 8 years ago, rode it about 12 times and gave up on it. Not for me. It has been inside the house, in a closet for the past 8 years. The leather is supple, as Brooks goes, there are a couple of tiny flecks off the nose of the saddle. The hardware has some patches cosmetic of rust on the coils where I just couldn't get at it with the dremel. I can include the post mounting hardware (Made in England) if you want it. The rails are can be a bit thin for modern seatpost mounts. I used vinyl tubing as a shim. Worked well. one weird thing, the stamp on the hardware says B73, but the style is a definite B72. Continental US only. Paypal. PM is good. This is my first sale on this forum, so have patience please. Thanks.

Can't really see it, but a tiny bit of rust on top of the chrome on the inner portion of the spring


Slight darkening of the saddle from couple of rides

B73 is the date code not the model. Nice looking saddle!

GLWS!

I just priced new Brooks saddles on ebay. Wow. Hard to believe B17 prices now start at $126. For the several years leading up to 2020, they were below $90.

And Gyes have risen, too, by about 1/3.

Cheers!
