yeah that's damaged from over tensioning alright. some local shops have good deals on brooks these days - i'd say it's best to pick one up locally if you're really interested. you won't regret paying a bit more for a new saddle. i believe i saw a b17 at urbane for $90 but i could be wrong. operator?
