The rattiest saddle's

[Clothespin n]

Rat Daddys post got me thinkin I would post up a few pics of a well worked pair of Brooks I just bought 2 days ago.
Ratdaddy...I think yours are a lot more workable than the one's I just bought..
but I love the thrashed one of these two.

can't get much more worn than the one on the left..I love em...they cost me $80.00 Canadian for the pair but I'm Happy!

does anyone have an idea how old the thrashed one might be??

Kev.

That one on the left looks like it could BITE your ...!

Looks like a 1950s model or even older.

no pain..no glory! :lol:

thanks to PastorRats info I found a date stamp on the gooder one,
it says 74,
but nothing on the Ratty one...
I guess when it comes to value it's only
worth what someone thinks it's worth to them.
I love it the way it looks and I think $40.00 was a good deal.

hope it doesn't bite! :shock: :lol:

i have one nearly as ratty as the one on the left and all we did to revive it was to use it..... its on my sons bike and over 2 years of riding its coming back to a decent patina ala levi jeans!

P-Rays the Lawd and pass the Profide! Brought back to life like Lazarus up from his dirt nap and back on a Typhoon! As found in the good book; "Now Ratrod had taken the rat rodded bikes and put on them a Brooks saddle, and sat on them." (see Gen. 31:34 :wink: )
