Bikes: A bunch of old bikes and a few new ones

Unicanitors utterly, irredeemably suck. And they're really hard to find. And, for reasons that are ungrokkable to anyone who's ever had to sit on one, they're really, really expensive.

PS: Or you could just put a Rolls on it. No, they're not period correct, but they're only out of scope by a couple of years, and they look great, and they're awesome.
This is a 4 year old thread I'm responding to as I've been thinking of changing out the selle anatomica leather saddle on my 1982 Peugeot PXN 10. I love the saddle but it doesn't look quite right on the bike. I could go with a brooks pro but the one I have is hard as a rock and likely to stay that way.

Agree that unicantors are uniquely terrible saddles. Turbos are awesome. I raced them. Concor supercorsa and Rolls would be fine as well.
