I've got this lovely white Turbo date stamped 1986, the upper is in really good shape for its age, and a good refurb would bring it up lovely. But the steel rail is completely rusted.
Is there anywhere that replaces the rails on old saddles? I found an old forum post that says Selle Italia used to do this for any of their saddles for a fee, but I can't find any recent info on this service, except in relation to saddles under warranty.
There are some videos that show how it can be done using brute force and crowbars, but I'd happily pay someone who knows what they're doing to take care of it.
The rail could be cleaned up, but the rust will only return, plus it's heavy, it would be nice to get a new Ti rail under there once the upper has been refreshed.
