Hi,

Am looking for a black brooks saddle in good nick. Preferrably a team professional or swift.

Thanks

Thanks for that Tawfeeredux,

Few questions...
Has it had much use?
Did it get wet many times?
Do you have the spanner, rain cover etc.
Was it proofide'd?
Most importantly - how much are you asking for?

Thanks

Less than 100km on it. Don't have a cover or tool. Put some proofide on it when I got it. It got wet once - got caught in a rain shower with no mudguards. Still in good nick though. Price €90.

Hi Tawfeeredux,
Thanks for that. At the moment Bike24 have the swift with chrome rails for 90euro which is 120gr heavier than the Ti version you have. Unfortunately my bike isn't the lightest, so 120gr isnt going to make a huge difference to it. For a second hand swift chrome with minor water damage I would expect to pay about 50 euro. If you would accept 60euro for yours (subject to inspection on the day) I would be delighted, any higher and I would probably just get the new swift chrome.

Getting wet once in no way constitutes water damage for a brooks saddle. They are made of sterner stuff than that.

Afraid I can't go lower than €80.
