The leather on my Brooks narrow rail B17 has a small 1" tear near the rear outer rivet. A leather worker advised me that the leather is too brittle to repair, even with addition of generous amounts of Proofride.
Any advise is appreciated....can it be repaired? Should I recover it? Or is it more economical to just buy a new Team Pro? What would recovering cost, and where can it be done? It would be a shame not to use the original saddle on my restoration project.
