I picked up a cheap saddle on holiday but it needs a slight repair, and I've got absolutely no idea where to start looking for someone to help. Would a welder sort something like this out?

you need to bend the staples up to free the bracket part.

take it to a fabricator and anyone worth their salt will be able to sort a replacement part for that

I think it is also missing the tension pin.

SJS carry spares
look at the tension shackle and the nose piece as well as the tension pin.

then you need someone to rivet it together.
I can but I live too far away.

Cheers for the replies.

Those spares all seem to be dedicated Brook's components. This saddle seems to be a 'Favorit' (seems to be an old Czech bike manufacturer).

Any idea of what sort of business I should look up to enquire as to whether they could carry out the repair?

I would consider asking the binmen to help.

That wouldn't be much help.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
