You've all been awfully quiet today so I thought I'd shake things up a bit by presenting a picture of my 59 Cinelli S.C. with it's new seatpost, courtesy of fellow lister Al (thanks Al!) and a not very period-correct Cinelli Volare SLX saddle. Now just waiting for the Universal brakes, courtesy of another fellow lister.

By the way, thanks go to all who responded with offers for elusive 26.2 seatpost and for the Mafac and/or Universal brakes.

Speaking of not so period correct, the wheels are also off, they are Saavedra tubulars laced to Campagnolo Record high-flange hubs with Stella double-butted spokes. When I have the time and guts I'll rebuild an old set of Clement silk tubulars, my first time undertaking this endeavor, so all advice is welcome. I've got a set of unglued Vittorias on there.

Opinions on the saddle and wheels are welcome. I figure the frame has been sufficiently modified that I can take the liberty to make this bike a little anachronistic.
