Hi guys,

I am Dave Hatch, Green Bay, Wisconsin where the snow is still melting.

The post discussing the plastic seats to compete with the Brooks saddles caught my attention.

I am running a mid-70's Brooks Professional here. In my stash I have a West German made plastic Wittkop Ranger, a Brooks look alike. I believe it is from the '70's.

I note the three holes in the top of the Wittkop Ranger, telling me it me have actually been made to look like a Brooks B-15 [If I am not mistaken], from the same era.

The pics explain themselves...

I am on digest mode. I look forward to any discussion.

Sincerely,
