The "Confort" had extra padding (comfort) that made the saddle considerably taller than the normal one. Wasn't nearly as popular as the Supercorsa (steel rails) or Superleggera (alloy rails). That's the reason so many Confort models are showing up on eBay; they weren't the model that was in demand back in the day.
