FS: Butchered Brooks B17 Narrow (or poor-man's Swallow)

Itsfixed

Hi all

I've owned this brown Brooks B17 narrow about three or four years but always preferred my older and wider standard honey B17. The upshot is that's seen very little use and last summer I thought about selling it on but then I read up about butchering it to make it look like the much more expensive Swallow model. So I decided to give it a try for the craic, not just because it makes it look so darned sexy, but also in the vain hope that it might make it more comfy.

I checked this blog post - http://dekter.net/misc/brooks.html -
and followed its instructions to the letter. I think it came through quite well and looks lovely, but I still find it just as uncomfortable as before. Saddle preferences are a personal thing so wondering if anyone wants to take it off my hands for e45? Would look great on any bike, but particularly a retro racing bike of some kind or a fixie.

Besides the (well-executed) butchering, its in perfect condition besides a few minor scuffs on the side been regularly treated with proofride and I've only tightened the leather tensioner underneath just once - and then only half a turn.

If you need brighter pics, let me know.
Based in Celbridge, but in Dublin at least once a week.
