I'm not a Brooks fanboy, so I don't attach any special value to used saddles I find on bikes. Usually I end up removing and dumping whatever's on a bike when I get it for something I can ride comfortably for 100 miles.
Now if for instance, the bike had a set on near-new Ultegra 600 8-speed shifters, or Shimano dual pivot brake calipers, I would bump the value, for the additional value of the parts. But a nice frame (you can't even tell if the derailleur hanger is still there, and if the frame can be restored) with a bunch of unmatched parts, that's missing the brakes, derailleurs, and shifters just isn't worth much to me. I mean, if you were to try to part it out, what would you have to sell, a Brooks seat? Unfortunately, the crude paint job on the head tube, and non-original fork is not worth anything, and lowers the value of the frame. The crankset is not original, and nothing special. The headset is a inexpensive replacement. What does that leave?
The bike is a rider, nothing more.
