Subject: [CR] Help with Cinelli Plastic Saddle date


Hello everyone. I've had more than a couple Cinelli bare plastic saddles cross my path, but seeking help to put a date range around one I got recently.

It's bare plastic with lightening holes drilled in, but what distinguishes it is a tension bolt/nut set-up at the front of the saddle frame, al la Brooks and other leather saddles.

Vaguely recall it written here that early plastic Cinelli's had this get-up. Does that make it mid-early 1960's?
