Subject: [CR]Saddles and shoes

Friends: Took my 1973 Raleigh Competition for our maiden voyage today. Nothing major fell off so I am very pleased.

The saddle is pretty much history, a Brooks B-17 with chrome rails that is flaking apart. The new ones all seem to have black rails? Are chrome rails available anywhere? Is the black painted over chrome by any chance? Would prefer chrome if I can come up with one.

Is there a source for shoes with adjustable old style cleats?

I have enjoyed the conversation regarding clipless pedals on vintage bikes. I do want to have a pair of shoes with old style cleats so I have the choice of clips or clipless.
