Nightmare!
This may sound a bit odd but if you kept the rail and don't need it for anything...could I have it?
I broke a rail on my favourite Spoon years ago and have always wanted to replace it but haven't found a way of doing it yet.

Well the ride to work this morning was erm? Eventful, yeah that’s the word, eventful. I’m riding along chatting to Liz and all of a sudden my saddle got a little bit more springy. So I sort of had a bit of a wiggle on it and oh for fuck sake! The top fell off and into the road. Which was nice. I picked it up and put it in my pocket and then continued the ride in on just the rails. Which I must say wasn’t anywhere near as uncomfortable as you would imagine. Anyway having a look at work the nose had snapped meaning the ends of the rails walked out of their pockets. So I taped it up best I could for the ride home.
I’ve now got a brooks B15 Swallow in place and it’ll do until a C15 comes up for cheaps.
