I have one of the tandem kidbacks for my Santana.

If I recall correctly (and that is up for debate...) that seat binder b olt Ha s a distinctive look, rather "round shouldered", and was made for Confente by a Welshman named Alex (ander?) Hague who had a lively acce ssories business in the late 1970s early 80s...
You could order all sorts of neat things from this concern: frame buildi ng bits with your name engraved, tandem elliptical bb shells, custom sea t binder bolts, frame building jigs, Rann trailers, etc., etc. I bet som e CR list member still has a copy of his catalog?

is kinda beat up. It doesn't look like it is chromed, I would think most of the Confentes out there are show bikes, it certainly would not look appropriate on a nice bike. Now if someone had a early 70's bike that was well ridden, used as a racing bike but not abused, well then that binder bolt would look right at home on a bike like that. I wonder if there is such a bike? ( ;
Back to the question of weather Mario made components, my guess is that he had that made But that is just a guess, am certainly not an expert on what Mario did or didn't do just a big fan of his bikes

The binder looks just like the ones used in Medici's. Except for the lettering which would then read "Rexart Medici". I wrote the seller and he said the binder did come out of a Medici.
