This is the rare 'Beater' model of the famous saddle, in traditional ISIS black with the distinctive 'dog's cock' front and twin Goatses at the rear.
This is the saddle on which, in 1965, Eddy Merckx won his maiden professional victory at the GP Gertrude Stein, the same saddle used by Hinault in 1982 when he became the first person ever to ride from London to Brighton without telling anyone else about it.
It's light, unlike your fat arse, and comfortable, ditto.
You'll see that when photographed in black and white it has an intense brooding quality, a quality that will impress your friends and intimidate your enemies, though it's very likely that in your case, they are the same people.
Cash is king. I've seen these go on SaddleBay for over 500 bit-smackers. But I'm not asking £100, not £50. £5 is all you need to own a piece of history.
Collect only, Stoke Newington, N16. First to PM gets it.
