The condition is so bad that I can't tell what it is. I want a seat like the original seat, but it is fine if it is more modern, I just want a seat that rides like this one used to ride
The original was, I believe a Selle Royal unit, with Raleigh branding. Most of the one's I have built have received a Selle Italia Turbo. It feels right, and looks appropriate for the era.
