Ultimate light vintage saddle?
Here we have the ultimate light weight vintage saddle, the "Sans Buttocks Dolomite"designed to be used with the "Gastro-dimodo" bike short butt clips, once attached you are 'locked In". Note the infinite prostate clearance provide for a man's necessities.
While a break through design way way way ahead of its time, given the "locked in" function of the "Gastro-dimodo" butt clips climbing out of the saddle resulted in frequent exposure "au naturale" which sanctioning bodies frowned upon.
Enjoy this moment of history..passing in the wind.

This could have been modern art back in 1950. Daliesque, even.
Today, it's merely an internet forum thread.

Take the handlebars off too and sell the bike: "Good for failed small business owner whose lost his 'buttocks' and don't know which way to turn."
