Old seat, New seat post
I got ahold of an old fashioned Brooks B72 to put on my Trek 820. The saddle is the kind with the two thin rails that are also the springs. I attached it calming the micro-adjust clamp over the bottom set of rails but the rails are too thin for the clamp. Any suggestions on how I get this Old Fashioned seat to stay on my new-fangled bike?

Brooks sells a fix. Sandwiches the two rails with a piece to then attach to the seat post.

That's great news except I can't find it any where on the website. Any idea where you saw it?

That's it?
No debate as to why the B72 is the wrong choice? No unsolicited advice about torque specs or the best way to break in a leather saddle?
Next time post on the 41 (Road Cycling); much more entertaining...
