I've seen a few threads, but no real idea about the general value of a used Brooks.
Obviously saddle condition and model could play a large part, but curious as a general guide.
The one I picked up looks to be 1980, marked "Brooks Professional" but I don't see a model number other than what I think is the year stamp. (The bike it came off of appears to be a 1980 model so that would jibe.
Condition in my eyes is excellent, no wrinkles/creases/cracks.
Personally I am thinking of trading it for other vintage parts, but wanted to know a general cash value to get an idea of what/how many parts I should ask for and not be unrealistic.
