It's a '92 and the first "modern" (production) sloping top tube frame. Campy 7/8s Chorus would be appropriate, but I have no desire for DT shifters. The Chorus 11 stuff is leftover after I "downgraded" parts on my gravel bike to alloy Athena 11.

Fizik Aliantes have a relatively classic shape (much like Regals)...I choose saddles based on what works for my butt, not purely on aesthetics. Brooks work for me, but they are heavy and they don't fit the character of the bike. I have Swifts on my Meech and Spectrum, a Pro on my Sampson, an Imperial on my Raleigh, and a B17 on my Iron Horse...FWIW.
