This ride needs a Brooks saddle. Luckily, I met a guy who was selling a silver/grey Competition a while ago. The frame turned out to be too big for me. As I was about to depart from out meeting, I asked, "do you have any parts?" "Oh yes, right here in the back seat, you never asked about parts." So, I got a 1976-77 Brooks Pro, NOS LOOk pedals in the box, a bunch of tools stamped "Sugino", some campy hoods NOS.....etc. Always good to grabbem' when the opportunity arises.
