Thanks for posting the photos.
Eric, the serial number is F213383, so June 1962. According to the SLDB there was a "Super Continental" that year which had a chrome fork--- BUT--- it had a triple crankset. There's no evidence for mine being a triple. I wonder if the original fork was replaced. I'll ask the original owners the next time I go for a visit. What do think of the Ideale saddle I found? Should I bid on the #43, or will it look too new?
