A friend of mine had told me he had his old college commuter bike hanging in the garage, with a Brooks saddle. He has let me borrow the saddle for a while to see if it, or that type of saddle, would work for me. (I am a complete n00b to this so am just trying things out to see how they fit.)

The bike is a spraypainted CCM (stamped on the rear dropout). It isn't my size and I didn't examine it closely but it has a 531 sticker, Simplex derailleurs, shimano hubs, Weinmann brakes, and this leather saddle (below). No Brooks tag or stamp on it anywhere and they seem like a company very proud of their products, as are Wrights and Ideale. So is this some kind of Brooks no-name knockoff? Anyone seen this before?

Not seen one, but it sure looks like it would be worth softening up and giving it a go.

The holes look to me like it would be an Ideale. I know quite a few came with tapered varying sized holes like that. The name simply could have just been worn off through use. It wouldn't surprise me if were an Ideale. Or at least a good knockoff of one.

I have seen a few saddles that appear to be identical to the one you have. All of those saddles came mounted on lower end Italian bicycles, including Bottecchia Special, Torpado Luxe and even an old Bianchi sported one. I might add that the gorgeous old Bottecchia set me back twenty dollars at a yard sale. Today, that same bike lives in Japan.

All that said, I do not know what brand name the saddle is and I have not found them to be particularly comfortable but I have never ridden one long enough to break it in to my shape.
