Just cruising the listings....I am by no means a Brooks expert, but this in no way looks like a brooks to me.

Yes, it's a Brooks 'Pillow' saddle covered in pleather, the skin of the wilde nahga-beast. Brooks, but not leather.

I've heard you must use a very high powered rifle to kill the wilde nahga-beast. They can be very dangerous in rutting season.

And to the poster, the bike used to be a very nice 3 speed, but its missing the chain guard and maybe the SA hub, can't see very well from here. Wouldn't pay more than 10-20 bucks for it.

Sorry, that's my bike there. I wasn't really sure if it was leather or vinyl, and really didn't check. The bike really is in awesome condition, so you should pick it up!

The bike was a 5-speed with a nice cheap low end derailleur and stem shifters as most bikes of the era had. I have the chain guard and other chain ring. Also, you'll be hard pressed to find one of these in this condition for $10-20 *******
