WTB Brooks B66 Black
I would like a black B66 for my 1955 Phillips 3-speed. It has the original saddle which is fairly comfortable, but I prefer Brooks. I prefer one with some patina, as my bike is faded and obviously loved and used. However I'm not a leather officianado, so one that doesn't require more restoration than a little rub down with proofide.
I can pay cash or trade. I have an almost new with box Brooks B67 that I'm not using. Please send a pm if you've got something. Thanks.
Not sure how to change title of post. I will also consider a black B72 saddle. Thanks. Really want black with double rales. Don't care too much about springs.

There's an online bike shop that is physically located in Ireland called Slaine or slane cycles. They got me a new one for the best price I could find on the net. Came with a little bag and cool brooks magazine. Was a good experience.

Is the Brooks 67 a single or double rail model? I might be interested in such a saddle for my Motobecane.

The B67 is single rail, B66 double. I've read that that is the only difference. The B67S is also readily available and I was not able to find a B66L or modern equivalent.

Wondering if you have a link or name of the online shop where you picked up your seat? Thanks for the help. Mike

For what it's worth, you might be more comfortable on a B-66s, the womens model.
