Anyone have one of these beauties? I missed one on the Bay about 3 weeks ago for $95...sad. To be clear, I'm looking for the dark green/copper riveted version (not the Apple green one). 

Thanks!

Well I knew I had a green Brooks something in a box.

Green Brooks Professional.

Joe,

I never installed this saddle but the description was: Brooks Team
Pro British Racing Green copper rails. $80.

If this works for you then it should go to a good home, yours.

I have one of those dark green B17s, and what happens after a few years of use is that the green comes off in the high wear areas and shows the black underneath. The same happened with a light grey B17 that I have on another bike.
