The original saddle was 'upgraded' by the bike shop when it was purchased. It would have been nice to have the OEM one for 'completeness', especially considering that practically every last nut bolt and washer is emblazoned with 'Schwinn Approved' and Made in Japan. But since it isn't a highly collectible top of the line model and features hi ten steel, I'm not going to worry about it. I'll try to find some time to get it into safe operating condition and give it a needed cleaning. Then I'll see if I can trade it or sell it come Spring. You're not looking for an Anniversary gift, are you Pastor?? Let's see, 30th anniversary is Pearl and I think 35th is Coral, what's appropriate for 33rd?? (assuming continued marital bliss, my apologies in advance if in error).
