Pat,

That AGDA saddle is what came on thousands of Peugeot UO-8's, AO-8's, etc. Had one new on my 1972 UO-8 and found it to be a rock hard, uncomfortable saddle and even after what had to have been at least five throusand miles it never really got broken in. Shortly after that in 1975, I purchased my Peugeot PX10 with the Brooks Professional saddle - like going from a fiberglass go cart seat to a Recarro seat.
