Hey all.

Just ran into a friend of mine who picked up a Olessen frame (definitely a KOF) for his wife off of CL. It was an ltd frame made circa 1992. Internally gear sachs rear hub, steel lugged frame, rigida clinchers, 3ttt 'priest' style bars, wooden fenders and rack, etc. It also had a curious ideale saddle on it. It was a medium brown, with rivets and chrome rails. It looked similar to a 92, but the logo on the side was in a script and not the traditional "box" with the model name and number. Infact, all that was on the side of the saddle was 'Ideale' in a script typeface. On the underside there were several number (which I don't remember) then a space and '92'. Was this some sort of reissue? Checked the archived an saw the same question on the BOB list posted a while back but with no answers. Any help in identifying this would be great. Thanks.
