Next up .. How to Fix a Beta Max Video Player.

Just because someone has the know-how to refurbish a saddle, doesn't mean that there is any logic to doing it. And there's the cost.
I should coco.

My point exactly. The jacket i used cost 2 quid. A tube of contact adhesive 1.
3 quid and half an hour.
I won't mend complex stuff and saddles with multiple panels etc are fiddly but a simple one is no more complicated than patching a tube.
Paying someone to fix it would [i][/i] be daft as i bet the frame will go in another 10 years.

Hasn't had a mention for a little more than eight years on these boards and may have retired, moved or even joined the choir celestial.
