Ultimate light vintage saddle?

Here we have the ultimate light weight vintage saddle, the "Sans Buttocks Dolomite"designed to be used with the "Gastro-dimodo" bike short butt clips, once attached you are 'locked In". Note the infinite prostate clearance provide for a man's necessities.
While a break through design way way way ahead of its time, given the "locked in" function of the "Gastro-dimodo" butt clips climbing out of the saddle resulted in frequent exposure "au naturale" which sanctioning bodies frowned upon.

Enjoy this moment of history..passing in the wind.

Take the handlebars off too and sell the bike: "Good for failed small business owner whose lost his 'buttocks' and don't know which way to turn."

[Nearly 87 dollars in 1960 was a small fortune, especially with "road racing tires" on a "Speedy" bike that's also "amazingly smooth", hmm crossover ad to bring in the Scotch/Bourbon drinkers?]

Those don't look like titanium rails. :innocent:

1962 Schwinn Continental

Three front chainwheels, powerful climbing gears...five rear cogs 38 to 100 gear.

• 27" size, 21" Frame, 601 ..... $107.00
• 27" size, 23" Frame, 603 ..... $107.00

Though this bike appears to be the 1962 at a whopping price jump of 20 bucks. Or as I would have viewed this price increase at the age of 10, nearly a years supply of corner market candy.

Some people don't know when to stop with the drillium.

Most 40 pound bikes ride smooth, once you get them going.

And I was ready to get my checkbook out!
