…could very well be one of the reasons Brooks stopped shipping adjusting wrenches with their saddles! More thoughts: It looks a bit dry; when was the last time you applied Proofide™ (if ever…) ?

I wonder if it got wet, and was dried with a hair-dryer or popped in the oven instead of letting it dry naturally…

that doesn't look half as dried as a brooks i saw today... it was cracking like old paint on a weathered wooden wall... alternative analogy: flaking off like a nasty case of the yeast vag.

oh jeez.
the saddle came off a 1972 super sport. i have no idea of the history, i just rode it a bit. deimos jumped on it and it broke in half!
no worries, i just got the saddle of my dreams after months of waiting. muahaha.
