Swap: Brooks C17 Special for Brooks C17 or C17 Carved

I've got a Brooks C17 Special, which is a white saddle, that doesnt fit the rest of my build. It's pretty tatty but still functional of course. I'm looking for someone who has a black C17 I can swap with. C17 carved in black would be perfect but not a necessity. Can include some cash aswell if neces...

Re: Wanted: small mtb or mtb frame (still looking)

Re: 3D Printed Cage Mounts.
