Hi - I just came across an nice Ideale Model 92 saddle and wondered if this would seem out of place on my 1971 TDF? It is currently sporting an original Freccia de Oro plastic job.... Shocked

Trails,
The Ideale 92 dates from the 70's and came in 2 sizes. The shorter version, 230mm, was the Ladies (kind of a snub nose). The longer, 270mm, was the Gents. It is just slightly wider than the Ideale model 90 and was said to provide more comfort on long rides. It was available with large and small rivets.
