Subject: [CR]San Marco Regal saddle offset

I am looking for a classic looking saddle that is flat across the top and has a decent amount of offset. This leaves the Brooks saddles out (not enough offest - can't slide it far enough back - also too damn heavy). I visited Lou Deeter and all I can remember is that he loved the Regals and had one on all of his 32,000 classic bikes. Has anyone else found them to be suitable? I especially need to be able to slide a saddle back in the rails as all my bikes have steep angles and all my seat posts are Campy, (Nouvo Record, Record or C-Record aero), so these posts don't allow you the huge offset numbers you can get with a couple of the newer race oriented posts that are so ugly.
