I think we’re both pretty lucky to have one now!
Interesting that both saddles came from the same eBay seller, and he’s got a Turbo in red suede right now that looks NOS. That one is a little too rich for my tastes.

A exotic bit of French wonderfulness with titanium bits arrived today!!! A Satri-Gallet 27 mm seatpost. A bit of trivia, Satri supplied this seatpost branded as a Huret for a while, this will go well with my Huret Jubilee derailleurs for the "Team Franco-American SpaghettiOs" project.

By the way, about that Record saddle, I recently recovered a similar one for @52telecaster, who got it with a 1960 Bianchi. To my mind, that date seems more likely than 1970; but (to be sure) I don't know.

Well, 140 is the number I was able to get! I also have a compact double in a 150 that I get to try out this year after having my revision surgery. For the last 3 years, I've been pushing a 137mm with about a 10 km maximum. Thanks.

2 shinny Phil Wood 36h 126 mm 7 speed free wheel hubs. All post inquiring about myriad schemes to respace 130mm hubs to 126mm will cease and desist.

Thanks! I’m trying to remember if that’s what mine has on it. It came on a 61 Raleigh Gran Sport. They are beauts and elegant stems.
