Help identifying this saddle
 
Hi, I recently bought an early 90s NOS saddle with Brooks graphics and logos but viscount printed on the underside. Any ideas what this may be? Is it a knockoff, replica, a plastic base saddle made by Viscount for Brooks or what? Thanks in advance

Could be a Brooks "Vitesse" saddle. I think it was the only plastic base saddle made under contract by a saddle manufacturer in Italy in the early 80's, I think. They might have made them for Vicount to install on their bikes as standard. That's why maybe you are?also seeing the Viscount brand on it

Does it look like the saddle in this thread?:

The poster of post #52 in that other thread says the saddle is being moved from a Viscount to something else.

^^^That Brooks Vitesse 600 was mine. ^^^ I purchased it NOS from a hardware/bike shop. I included it when I sold my Miyata 312.

Yes, sadly enough, I can't post any photos yet. The saddle isn't quite like that vitesse, but something more similar to a selle Italia turbo
