So Sad, the Fate of an Ideale Saddle.
Here's a picture of the frame with the markings on the rear. How does it match up to your saddle?
Thanks, actually it was reading your post that reminded me I had an Ideale similar to yours. I took it out this morning and the rails had the same marking as you have shown. The only thing different is the orientation of the bend connecting the alloy rails to the saddle. Yours is bend outward vs. mine which bends inward.
Your post is inspiring. Good to see such an effort to resurrect it.
