I need another Brooks Swallow for the tandem.
However that which was once easily affordable ( I have a titanium railed Swallow on the Longstaff & one on the Trek) is now not so.
So having found this

I am considering removing a B17 narrow from the mtb & cutting & carving same to acquire a DIY Swallow albeit with steel rails.
I wonder if the lack of titanium rails will prove to be a major compromise to the comfort I experience wrt the real thing?What does the panel think.
I also wonder if I have the bottle to cutncarve the B17 Narrrow
I wonder too if,having done the deed I'll still have all my digits in place
Has anyone here done this & have something to add to the article?
