Having just bought a NOS red Electa saddle purely on impulse because I love the look of it, I am really curious. I believe it to be slightly out of our time period, but perhaps those of you in the know might answer (on or off list) a few questions for me. Will it be a comfortable and rideable saddle or just a show piece? If it does not hold air, will it still be rideable? Just what period were they made? Why were they discontinued? Were red ones common? Jeez...sometimes I think I'm just a slave to my impulses!
