Just been quoted £60 for a rail repair on a B17 Narrow. For parts plus labour that seems quite reasonable... but... brand new B17 Narrow £66 on wiggle.

How old was the original saddle? Possibly worth the repair if it was broken in to be comfortable, but I know CTC/Audax types are of the opinion that the leather on modern Brooks isn't as long-lasting as on vintage ones. Either way, you might be able to sell the old one for spare or repair?

I think about 10yrs old, bought on here 2nd hand but very light use and the leather feels in good condition.

I might try to DIY fix, which was my original plan but I'd not got around to it so had figured the repair service might be a good lazy option.
