Hi Dean, I adjusted the subject line, to help others know specifically what is being discussed and to inspire them to jump in on the thread.
You probably cannot go wrong with a plastic Cinelli Unicanitor, which is perfectly period correct. And actually, the ones I ride give nicely, even under my 150-160# frame; I find them very comfortable.

Hello listers!
I'm putting together a 1968 Masi Special Pista and I'm wondering what were the commonly used track saddles of that time? Were the plastic saddle shells available or was it more of a brooks style leather and rivets? I'm not necessarily looking for a 1960's saddle but at least something that looks correct. Make and model suggestions welcomed.
