Hi, could you tell me a bit more? What do you mean rails will break very soon? I'm gonna sell it anyway, since it won't fit any of my builds, but for future it would be good to know I guess.

It was equally a heads-up for anyone who buys it.

Q. Why have the Rails / Tension Pin / Backplate on my Brooks saddle broken?
A. By far the most common cause of breakages of the Rail, Backplate and Tension Pin is insufficient leather tension. Brooks recommend a routine six-monthly check of the tension, and adjustment where required.To increase the tension, you should turn the Tension Pin nut so that it moves towards the rear of the saddle (when viewed from the front of the saddle, this will be a clockwise turn on the spanner). This will retighten the leather and ‘’pull up’’ any sagging.
Hope this helps

You can fix the width of that Brooks by tensioning it, and I would go as far to say (with considerable experience) that it desperately needs tensioning - if not the rails will break very soon
