Made an offer on one myself this afternoon. I probably offered too low, but I'm upside down on my bikes at the moment so I can't really afford to spend more.

Niiiiiice. Mine is (was) exactly the same except the crank is Shimano BioPace. That's a helluva way to start a week, brother!

What are the four digits stamped on the head badge?

awesome I see the colonel has already replied to the thread.

I've got one too (the only pics I have of it are of its dints and scars though). they're fantastic rides, fairly balanced IMO. and yours looks like it's in great shape too - treat it well, ride it everywhere!

No markings at all. Heres some more bad news.....I think my wife my have tossed my green Brooks Pro! =0( She told me she cleaned up a bit last week and may have tossed it by mistake, she went upstairs crying and searched the whole room (after I couldn't find it) and came down crying telling me that she thinks she tossed it out accidently. =0( It was in a Brooks box so I can't see how this could have happened but its no where in the house so chances are its gone. I think I'll cry now.
