Hi all. I'm looking for the perfect saddle for my '74 Motobecane Grand Record. I actually have a Pro of that era (and a couple of others) but lately have been riding it with a recent B17 Champion Special, the kind with copper rivets like a Pro. I like the feel and look of that saddle, but the color is not right: it's a Special Edition of maybe 10 years ago, kind of a dull grey-green. I would SWEAR that some years back I also saw a Champion Special, Special Edition, in a dark red or maroon color, but I have had no luck searching for same. Anyone else know what I'm talking about? Or am I crazy...wait don't answer that!
Here's a pic of the bike after I first got it built (back) up, with a modern Pro on. Wheelset are a period-correct upgrade (mostly) Campy high-flange hubs and modern rims. Levers obviously recent, for hand comfort as much as effectiveness.
