All the seatposts I have seen (in the flesh and in contemporary catalogues) for the narrow rail saddles from Brooks, Unica et al were of the early Record type aluminium non fluted two bolt fixing. I have whilst I am typing this a set of the saddle rail supports and top clamps to convert a normal Record pin to one which takes the narrow rail saddles together with one of the 'Campagnolo' Brooks Competition B17 standard saddles.
