Now you need a nice Brooks saddle! (BTW I have an '86 Schwinn Tempo from the same era, Tenax frame).
I've got a better set of cantis on the way and I also have a brand new Brooks Pro...but I think a B17 would be better. I'll hunt for one of those
Oh, I have a used Brooks Pro in brown as well. Can these be suitable for touring or are they more for the "race" position?
