The seat looks mighty comfy tho... 1984 Concor by any chance?
No they were ok. I've since fitted a modern set of tri bars and I'm using the bike for TT's. The bike is under 10kg which while not light by today's standards is good enough what I need at present. Mind you I bought an almost new 10sp veloce Orbea off Ebay, carbon forks and seatstays and found it was over 10k!!!
Yep Concor Light, best seat I've ever owned.
