Picked up a couple leather saddles-- and Ideale and a Brooks B72. Paid more than I ordinarily might, but it was at the local bike co-op, and they seem to be having a good effect, so I don't mind. I think they might have given me the saddles, since I've donated a couple frames and a truing stand in the last few weeks, but I made it clear that my donations and the price of the saddles were seperate issues. The Ideale is prolly headed for the Bobet, once I gets to it; the B72 where it belongs-- a Raleigh Sports. It's nice to go into a shop where they don't treat me like I'm from mars and try to sell me a new piece of crap to replace whatever I happen to be riding that day. Weird feeling in this town.
