Brooks Saddles

[melissam]

Ahem, slight thread hijack follows, but it would be rude to not answer Amy's question.

Amy,

It's a Bianchi Limited. Mine has an 18" frame, which was one of the few bikes that fit me @ 5' 1" in the mid-80's. I don't remember what saddle it came with from Bianchi, because the bike shop put an Avocet Women's saddle on it when they built it.

I found an ad for a used Bianchi Limited which is spec'd like mine (tubing & components), and he says it has an original Kashimax saddle.

Edit: Oops, I found another web page with a Bianchi Limited from that era, and it mentions a Selle Italia "Bianchi" saddle. That sounds more correct than the Kashimax saddle.

Thanks for the excuse to walk down memory lane!
