Selling my Brooks B17"S" saddle

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

A great comfy saddle that I have ridden for one year and loved...but I needed just a bit more sitbone width (I have wide hips) and so I just switched to a B68 instead.
This B17S (the "S" is the slighter wider women's version) is one year old, has been nicely broken in already (by me), is the honey colored with black rails. It has been thoroughly Proof-Hide'ed (as recommended by Brooks) about 10 times, including the bottom side. I ProofHide'ed it one last time, top and bottom, this past week just to make it nice for the new owner. You can see the sitbone dents as opposed to a brand new flat topped Brooks.
There is a very minor scratch on top near the nose that was there when I got it new- see the first photo. Also, a few nicks on the black paint on the rails underneath, which is what you normally get when you mount it on your bike with the seatpost clamp.

A new non-broken in B17S currently costs $68 plus $7 shipping (total $75).
I am selling this lovely pre-broken in honey B17S for $55 plus $8 shipping (total $63)
Shipping only to continental U.S. locations please. I will ship this out packaged and padded nicely in a Brooks saddle box and shipped Priority Mail.
Will accept cash or US Postal Money Order only. Thanks!

D@mn. If it were black, I'd be so tempted... as it is, though, I wonder how it'd look on X's avocado green/cream Zoom?

i think it would look awesome on a green bike!
the first ever case of adult bike lust i had was a bike with a brown saddle (it was a trek) and the bike itself was green. We bought the cheaper model. :(

but that was a long time ago, when I was poor.

Lisa - have you measured your sit bones? I'm trying to decide if this saddle could work for me, or if I really need to go w/ a B68. My home measurement was 150mm vs the shop measure, at 140mm. I believe the width on this saddle is 177? If you prefer to PM to discuss, that's fine.

How do you like the nose length on the S?

[BleeckerSt_Girl]

HI,
I can't seem to get a measurement of my sitbones that would be accurate in any meaningful way.
I can tell you that my hips are about 42", measured standing up and around the sitbone area. I have a definite pear shape.
The B17 "did" fit me comfortably, but I wanted that wee extra width of the B68 for added insurance.

As to nose length- I don't notice any difference for me in either the shorter "S" nose or the longer non-"S" nose on the brooks saddles. It seems to make no difference to me. The S models however do have shorter rails because of their shorter noses, which means they have less for/aft adjustability than the non-S rails. They can't get shoved quite as far back on the seat post.

That shor is purdy.
But it just wouldn't look right on my bike.

[Nokomis]

Zen - It'd look beautiful on that bike! Especially w/ cork or honey leather bar tape.

Lisa - I'll make a decision by Friday; don't wait on me if you find a buyer. If I knew it would work, I'd grab it right up!

[mimitabby]

Zen, I agree with Nokomis! It would be lovely!

The saddle is SOLD.
Thanks everyone!
