FS: Brooks B5N leather saddle

Up for sale is a Brooks B5N saddle in well-preserved shape. I believe this model was the budget version of the B.17 back in the late 1970s. Textured for your riding pleasure! I've applied a coat of Proofide to the underside, which felt a bit dry, but leather looks quite intact, i.e., not pulling away from the rivets and showing very little signs of arse indentation. Chrome rails are in very good condition. Length is 10 3/4" and widest part measures 5 3/4".

Price is $40 shipped via USPS in the CONUS. Payment via PayPal F&F or Venmo.

Except for the holes it has a similar appearance to a Wright's saddle I own.

My favorite Brooks. The leather on the Brooks is thicker than the similar Wrights model, thus providing greater longevity.

That was quick! I really like my B5N, closer in shape to a B17 Narrow than the regular model.
