Subject: [CR]Ideale No. 39

Hello all. I have been trying to find some information on a saddle I have. It's an Ideale No. 39. I have seen the Ideale 90, but this one's a bit different. It's similar to the Brooks Pro style, but has nickel rivets, and a couple of saddlebag loops on the back -- and it's black. It is pretty stiff, and much less broken-in than my Brooks Pro and Team Pros are. Any knowledge of this model? Is it appropriate on a '75 Motobecane Le Champion?

Thanks,

Andy Grout
