Three vintage leather saddles in very good slightly used condition (#3 possibly NOS). Offering here for the next two days before putting them on eBay:
1. Black Brooks Professional. $65.00. Probably from the late '70s to mid-80s. This has the large copper rivets, modern chrome rails, and small dark metal Brooks tag on the back. It appears to have been mounted but could not have been used for all that long as there is little sign of wear. Never been adjusted 2. Brown Ideale 92 Rebour with chrome Ideale seat clamp. $80.00. Very good used condition. Date stamp under saddle says April 1995. Lovely reddish brown color. This saddle works with modern seat posts without the clamp, traditional seat post with. The rails and clamp are shiny chrome. Clamp appears to be NOS. Copper rivets bright with slight patina. Never been adjusted. 92 was designed for touring in France. Would be good for shorter tours or a nice about town bike. 3. Brown Ideale 90 Rebour with chrome Ideale seat clamp. $90.00. Possibly NOS. 90s were made from 1970 through 1981. Ideale did not start date stamping until the later 1980s, so I cannot say exactly when this was made. Color is a nice mid to dark brown with a hint of cordovan. This saddle works with modern seat posts without the clamp, traditional seat post with. The rails and clamp are shiny chrome. Clamp appears to be NOS. Copper rivets bright with slight patina. Never been adjusted. 90s were the race saddle in the day. Would be good for a dressy race bike, the more aggressive tourer, or even a show bike. Prices include USPS flat rate to Con. U.S. Will trade any of the saddles straight up for a New (or in the case of the Brooks very good condition) aluminum Albatross handlebar.
