Thanks ColnagoC59 - the adjuster ones were staying either way, but knowing they're the "right" ones and why the cobalto ones have no adjuster is useful intel !

I have uploaded some photos on image shack t(see Link Below) that show all the transfers and details on Dave's 88 bike. I understand that when my bike was renovated great care was taken to ensure that the respray and decals were an exact copy. The 89 paint scheme on your bike would have been the same apart from Campagnolo stickers replacing the Shimano ones and as the bikes are the same size they would be in approx the same place

I was astonished at the quality of the refurb on that saddle. £65 is cheap compared to what a NOS one would be (if you could find one) - and it's always better keeping the original components on the bike. Anyone can throw money at new components, restoring each bit is so much more rewarding.

Cheers Rob - your post is quite timely - as the saddle's going back to the restorer next week, not because there's anything wrong with it, but with the additional work she's had in restoring bike saddles, she's been able to source templates for the Turbo logos on the sides of the nose.
Who want's a NOS one, when you can have the original looking like new
