Bike parts and bikes themselves are very expensive locally, and since I didnt notice the saddle rack bending at scene, i'm not too much in fond of the idea of handing him a big bill for a new locally bought saddle.

I'm thinking one of these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brev-M-Bre...item3cbbe52ae6

are these saddles of lower quality than the original?
