They claim that they can replace/repair any of the metal components on any saddle they've ever made. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=6221#post-66470 Sat, 21 Apr 2012 17:11:26 +0000 Nelly 66470@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I have a 1980s brooks b17 narrow, which I finally got round to restoring and fitted to my SS.</p> <p>Saddle itself is lovely, much nicer than the Spesh BG one it replaced - however the rear 'brooks' badge is a bit faded out - while this is only cosmetic, the saddle is about the only decent looking thing on my commuting / hacking around bike - and while this it sounds a bit vain, I <em>would</em> like to replace it - I can trawl about on fleabay, but wonder if anyone on CCE has one they might like to sell me?</p> <p>merci </p>
