Well, I looked at my alloy plate-railed Ideale 90 tonight. It's no
multi-hundred dollar ebay NOS saddle, but a decent rider. The important
point, to me, is that it has a lovely, if slightly fragile, continuously
adjustable tilt mechanism, much easier to use than the two-bolt Campy
and Zeus. You can actually reach the locking nuts from the back, with
an 8 mm wrench (after loosening the main bolt with a 15 mm). The
advantage of the Zeus/Campy is that sliding the seat back and forth will
be much easier; My Ideale has a hole and a slot for the clamp screw, but
total adjustability is less than 2 cm (3/4" for the metrically challenged).
