Here's one for all you oldies:D
Does anyone know if the saddle rails from a Concor supercorsa 'profil' will fit a Concor supercorsa 'confort'.
After my post on Brooks saddles a nice person contacted me and asked if the concor 'confort' was of any use
PS.I think if anyone actually knows this answer they must have spent many many years on their bike, because not many actually remember Concor supercorsa saddles!!
Thanks in advance:)
Well, I don't know the answer, but I spend 1000's of happy miles on my Concor profil. Every bit as comfortable as a Brooks.

If you are asking, if the rails on each type will fit the same seat clamp then, the answer is YES!!

Well I have a reply to this from another source- thanks Fred!
Yes the rails from the Profil and the Comfort are interchangeable, just the amount of padding in each seat is different. The real question is .. am I brave enough to change the rails and possibly wreck my old Concor? OR should I just retire it gracefully? No need to reply thanks :)
Oscar- they were/ are great saddles, I was really sad when the rail on mine broke :(

Hi All-
Kickin' up a dusty retro parts thread from a few years ago...
In an effort to get past my tendency to be a packrat, I just tossed a 1980's Concor Profil saddle in the garbage the other week! Snapped a rail after thousands, upon thousands, upon thousands of miles. They looked pretty cool with that "aerodynamic spoiler" on the front section...way ahead of their time! There is a nagging side of me that says I should have kept the saddle and worked on a way to get the rails replaced.
