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.

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.
