Ref: The special issue of Cycling Weekly with the Raleigh history in it. On pages 37 and 77 appears Reg Harris on a Raleigh track bike. The saddle appears to have a rod extending to the top tube. Was this a brace? Were the seatposts at that time prone to slipping? Or was this something else? Thanks.
