    De-hoarding as my free storage facility (the old family home) has just been sold:

    One new but old men's Brooks saddle (black) - new but old in that it came attached to a Cannondale tourer in 2008, was immediately swapped out, and has been languishing unused in a box of random bike stuff ever since. Not sure of exact model - the "basic" leather men's one I assume, as it came as part of the spec. Can chuck in a cover for it someone gave me - never used - if you want it.

    One nearly-new (but has been slathered underneath in the stuff oot the tin that's meant to help break it in) women's Brooks B17 S Standard Saddle in black (cost £62) - bought in hope, used for maybe 10 hours riding, abandoned when it became clear that the saddle was breaking me in and not vice versa. (Ow!) Has also been languishing in a (different) box of stuff since, erm, 2012.

    Anyone interested? All reasonable offers considered!

    Always fancied trying a Brooks. Which model is it and how much would you like?

    99% sure it's this one: https://www.scotbycycles.co.uk/components-c39/saddles-c40/brooks-b17-standard-trekking-and-touring-saddle-p3703/s12721?gclid=CjwKEAiAwZO0BRDvxs_1w-qFnhkSJABo10ggzO7q2U76UpUmVoHFi1S5rk3Rds-TeCACr4Mzl1zFiRoCcGLw_wcB

    It's a bit scuffed on the rails where it was attached in transit to me back in 2008. Hmm. Does £45 sound reasonable based on the price at that link?

    IWRATS - grand; PM at leisure re: a convenient exchange scenario.

    mercury: for sure! Assume suitability for MTB depends on what you want/what would be comfy for you (or the intended recipient); I don't want to land you with something that won't suit you, so if you're not sure check here on the forum or elsewhere for advice.
