Ebay auction text describing what you are looking at: "How many of these where u live?This is a unique,Bartolo Bittini modified Brooks seat Professional model. Well,if u dont know who Bartolo Bittini was,ill tell u!This is the man that used to have racers like Coppi and Bartali stayin on line outside his little "officina" in S.paolino Square,to get one of his seats!As u see in the pic,this was modified.Look at the rails,cutted,shortened and welded back in its original place.The owner of this seat(an ex racer)told me that he use to work on it with "sugna"( pork -made kinda grease,if u wanna call i t that way!)and then ,stretch it back in its original position. Still supernice;a real and unique collector item! Reserve price is lower that the price i ve seen some unicanitors goin for.So,grab it and own a piece of Italian tru bike craftmanship!"
Any opinions out there? (It must smell nice in the sun with the sugna spread on it!)
