Lawrence and other CR's-- The narrow railed saddle utilized the standard Campag seat post with a set of smaller clamps that held the seat. Ideale and Zeus also made these narrow railed saddles with a higher range of adjustment, thus they also made the "adaptors" for the standard seat post, also. Bradley at American Cyclery in San Francisco had a bunch of them at one time and didn't know exactly what they were for. A cycle shop here in Seattle has some of them also-- they don't know what they are, but they know they are rare, so I think they may be spendy-- I will be happy to inquire for anyone who is interested-- I will probably get them for less than you will if you call for them.

Does anybody have a seatpost or collar for sale with a narrow clamp diameter. As per my previous messages, I have a Brooks saddle (currently being recovered...thanks to all for the info) with rails that are much narrower than normal, 32mm as opposed to 42mm. The post is just shy of 27mm, but I'll measure it more precisely if it looks like there is a match. Say, while we're on this topic, does anybody have any historical info on the saddle. It says B17 competition standard on the sides and has campagnolo stamped on the top. The small rivets were nickel plated over copper.
