This saddle and matching tool pouch made me smile when I stumbled across an old, almost mint, Italian Torpado...

And the smile got even bigger when I bought the bike...

and the other one that was there which, except for the color, was and still is a perfect match, so I bought it too...

Both bikes are stored and snowed in at my lake cottage and I cannot wait to try them out on the cottage roads that surround Loon Lake where my cottage is...
