>Are those Ti rails? I'd stick to CrMo.

I don't think they're either. Look to me
like ordinary chrome plated steel. I am
guessing it's too brittle a grade.

THANKS TO ALL who commented. I have now
found the actual Brooks site thanks to
the reference from Mark (www.brooksengland.com).

I have sent them an email, and mentioned
that others have had this same problem. I'll
post back to this thread any response I receive
from them, and THANK YOU AGAIN.

I knew I could count on fellow bike enthusiasts
to come through with a quick fix!

Imagine something like this happening if you're
on a long-distance tour, as I quite frequently
have been. I've still got a perfectly serviceable
Brooks Professional saddle purchased about 1974,
over thirty years ago. That saddle has actually
been around the world - literally - including
riding the English countryside where it came from.
