That Ideale saddle brings back a memory from the bike shop I purchased my PX-10 in '68. They had a typewritten, and copied ad for it: "Tired of the acheing hemorhoids, the bloody underwear? Get some class for your ass! The Ideale Model 90. Presoftened at the factory." It was a little pricey as I recall, I think it was almost $30 then. I spent $8 instead on a Clement spare tire, criterium seta 220 with matt tread. That and the hite pump I'm still using today, another $8. ;^)
