Thought of that years ago, but there are lots of different ProLong types and base shapes, so whilst Ti rails is a key part particularly for the ride quality, it still doesn’t make it a period correct Ti saddle as such.Silly question, but it's only the rails that are ti so possible to swap these over onto the base that the skin came from?
I am actively trying to get to it, it's right at the back of the workshopAre you gonna send me some photos of your perforated Pro-long then?
Do you mean the perforated leather versions with all the holes in ? …that’s just a different ‘ventilated’ version, I assumed for those in hotter climates or with sweatier backsides !!I thought they needed to have dimples, or is that something else?
But which is the correct version for a JMC replica, does it depend on the picture used?Do you mean the perforated leather versions with all the holes in ? …that’s just a different ‘ventilated’ version for those in hotter climates or with sweatier backsides !!
No all of JMC‘s specialized bikes were plain leather, not perforated. As best I know.But which is the correct version for a JMC replica, does it depend on the picture used?
Good knowledge.Based on the catalogue specs, perforated saddles were only around in 1993 and 1994. And it seems the grey perforated editions were 1994 only. As ever the reality may vary, I have seen pics of a seemingly original 1992 SJ Comp with a black perforated saddle, and various 93 SJ FS's with solid black saddles, both despite what was listed in the book.
