Wore out three sets of tires already!
I have an Ideale "Daniel Rebour" leather saddle (number is very difficult to read; maybe #134 model) that is damaged. I had purchased it many years ago and it had a couple rivets replaced although I do not know why (no tearing at any rivet). The leather is in very good condition other than scuffing and surface crazing. One rail has separated from the cantle while the other is loose. It wasn't really noticeable while clamped on the post, but now is unuseable due to the separated rail. The cantle is aluminum with the rail swaged into it and an alloy sleeve bound to the rail end. That sleeve is press or shrink fit to the rail and does nor appear to be welded to the cantle.
Does anyone have any idea as to the possibility of repairing this saddle and how to do it, or is it done with? I would still like to use it since it is comfortable; but I am unsure as to the feasibility of a repair.
