Retro seats (& last question from me for today!)

[thejackal]

Hello again

I am looking for a good mid 80's seat for a bike. Racing style, but not for an out & out race bike. A rideable seat, but aesthetically pleasing.
The bike currently has a nice Selle Royale seat on it, but it is quite weighty, more of a touring seat, IMHO, & fancy a change........

What should I be looking for??

Thanks, in advance

A Turbo would generally work. Period would be ok. Racier than a Rolls..

However Still prefer a Brooks B17 Narrow.

If you can't find a Turbo at a sensible price the Charge Bucket is the same thing but with a logo on. 20 quid.

Thanks both

eBay searched the Brooks saddle, & whilst I admit it is a thing of great beauty & superb craftsmanship, it's not really what I am after!
By Turbo, do you mean a Selle Royal Turbo? Looked for one of those too but eBay came up blank!
Charge Bucket?? Sounds interesting, but can you enlighten me on it a bit please??

My thanks gents

San Marco Rolls like the Selle Italia Turbo is a shape that's stood the test of time. You can also get San Marco Concors and Regals which are from the similar era.

I have an almost completely unused (surplus to requirements) white charge bucket should you wish to try one (£10 posted UK). The Selle Italia Turbo is one of my favourite saddles, just seems to fit! Never tried a rolls but heard many favourable things.
