Marty, we have a complete Favorit bicycle, including that seat. A rare example of an Eastern European bicycle, it was made in Czechoslovakia.

it is rare to find anything other than the rear derailleur or shifters. They are common. I think the bike dates from the early to mid 1970s. The saddle is usually missing the orange front piece, it is fragile and breaks off. The "leather" will always be that hard.

pictures of the bike, and the saddle are available here- http://www.bikeville.com/favorit.html
