It was trimmed nicely, and there's still ample leather in front of the rivet.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eGreat to excellent used condition.   Leather is supple, yet as firm as a \"pre-softened\" model.  Zero cracking.  Rivets look nice with no tarnish.  Rear end and corners are in great shape with no scuffs!  Rails and hardware look great, with only very slight dirt\/corrosion in the deep corners.  Lots of life left in this one. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eDetails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eDark brown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eSteel rails\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003eBrass small rivets\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Brooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52607623233676,"sku":"4779","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0785\/5144\/9740\/files\/TSR_Watermark_-_5761__92475.1461109624.1280.1280_73cba564-708e-4d17-8de6-ead069b5a3d6.jpg?v=1792342742","url":"https:\/\/swooncycles.com\/products\/vintage-brooks-professional-leather-saddle-brown-brass-rivets-1970s","provider":"Swoon Cycles (Bike ReCyclery)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
