Nice, but well overpriced, by roughly 50% IMO.

Appreciate the feedback. I'm not all that familiar with vintage bikes so do realise I may have got the pricing wrong which is why I've left the ebay sale open to offers. I based the price on looking at the past 3 years of sales of similar saddles, non of which were as old and those which were similar age were in tatters! However, as I say it's not my area of expertise so useful to get some guidance.

Couple of points - selling is not the prime function of this forum and when it come to it, prices are 'adjusted', as of we sell to like minded people, not necessarily at profit, hoping Karma looks after us. For the rest, there is always eBay

Saying that, even on eBay such saddles rarely go above £100, look what is available today and take into account prices are going down not up.

I bought a Brooks Standard Professional off eBay…it was new and part of the recent reissue (£200 RRP) and I got it for £110…so, £85 for a used version is a more realistic price…GLWS.
