Ideal saddle - free to a good home
I came across this while cleaning out the shed this morning. It needs some attention. I can't foresee any projects where I would need it, so I would be happy for it to go to a good home. If you can use it, be the first one to send me an email at thomas.kirk16@yahoo.com and it's yours.

reminds me of Portmeirion Wales.
As number 6 said, "I am not a number, I am a free man!"
I wish I had a double wire clamp, not very useful without.

Would a Brooks clamp for the B72/66 work? I can contribute one of those, unworthy1 .

The saddle has a new home.

Probably not, but they're out there and reasonably priced.

My original screen name here was number6
some database error killed that off- the admin folk at the time suggested I try a second one
the village reply to “be seeing you” would be, “and you..”.
that answer will cost you 5 credits.
pay no mind to Rover over there.

Here's an update and a request:
I thank Tom (Oldguyonoldbike) for this project, it arrived well packed sometime back and I subjected the dried out, cracked leather to all the tricks I know over the subsequent days.
Results: nothing miraculous but got the shape back and leather dust doesn't come off on your hands so...maybe this will hold up for some more rides. Color got a bit darker! Still has significant "texture" where it's deeply cracked. My intention is to use it on a "townie" build for a female co-worker who doesn't weigh much, but due to the lockdown this project won't be concluded for a while.
My request: can't find one of the Breeze and Angel or Breezer type adapters and that would be my preference since I do have a seatpost already in the frame and don't have a straight pillar or one of the twin-rail clamps (Brooks or Ideale as I hoped I did) so if anybody has an adapter for sale or trade please PM me. And NO rush of course

Here's one of my Breeze adapters in use on a B66 on my Cimarron.
