World's rarest retro saddle?

[red_dread]

Those Ideales look tasty, and clearly very expensive, but they come up on Google and mine doesn't so I still reckon I win!

as are the original GT saddles with rivets.

Because they were utterly crap and all got binned?!

There are plenty of us trying to build bikes to original spec who would agree with you about the lack of comfort of the original spec saddles....but original spec is original spec.

they are usually associated with Rene Herse bikes , which are very rare and sell for up to $10000 .

I don't come up on google but brad Pitt does, does that mean I'm rarer? No, sadly it just means I'm uglier and worth a lot less and am of lesser importance to the worlds conciousness-just like your saddle.

And just to back up my previous comment (which is light hearted, just can't stand smilees), if you take two pictures, one rare, one common as muck:

The worlds most published photo

the worlds most expensive painting

then the rarest one would get the least hits, yes?

No!

What happened to Vetta SL saddles, not very rare but I haven't seen any for ages, so maybe they are!
