Don't know anything specific about the Mod 28A, but ADGA saddles are familiar as the typical OE on early 70's Peugeot UO-8's and some other entry level French road bikes. The ones on the UO-8 were hard as rock, don't know if they ever "broke in". I'd be interested to know if AGDA made some better quality models - I've only seen the cheap ones.

Stamped on each side is the maker's mark..."ADGA" with some other words in French and the model number "28A". Dark brown leather. Any information would be appreciated such as when it was made, what bike it might have come from. I found it at a swap meet...when I asked the guy if I could see the bike it came from, he just stared at me. Gave him a dollar.
