Default Brooks saddle plus stem on Ebay......Erm, not quite

No mad rush. 5 days to go yet.

quote Brooks saddle (im sure it is a brooks saddle however the little
badge on the back is missing) chrome is fair would need rechoming to make
it mint, there is some rust i have started to polish it most come off
leaving slight pitting in the chrome (email for more pics if req) top
is good although right at the front on the edge is worn through.
Overal with a bit of time spent polishing and cleaning it would look
good on a bike /quote

So just get filing them rivets!

Blimey, how old is that saddle? Probably not even worth the postage is
it?

Don't let those looks fool you.

Its a very rare B18 Shopper Professional with titanium springs.

And it's not even chopped.

Looks like it's come straight off a 1980s exercise bike.
