Mark Stevens asked:
Evenin'all. Can anyone tell me the intro date for the Unica seat pin with the red rubber/plastic discs in it? I have one off a recent Flying Scot purchase - dated 1963-4 - the bike frame that is. The saddle is a perforated type black plastic with Unica on one side and Nitor on t'other. ++++++++++++++++++++++ I can do little more than bracket it. I first recall seeing one about 1970, and don't remember seeing them in catalogs in the early-mid 60s. But, I might not have had the right catalog.
Let me know if you don't have room to keep it; I've long wanted one.
