Hello Harry (and CR),
Mine is different in that it is not a Cinelli saddle, but a light weight plastic/carbon type, but not the heavier Cinelli.
I will post pics and weight on Sunday evening US central time.
Thanks, John Proch La Grange, Texas

Listers,
My Windsor Touring Pro (ha ha) frame purchased from listmemeber Ken Toda came with that exact saddle, branded 'Windsor. Molded into the plastic base is 'Lambertini' and 'Made in Mexico'. Feels like a Unicanitor, which is why I no longer ride it, though the frame is getting flogged on the streets of New York. Saddle is well made in the manner of classic Italian saddles, no corners cut as far as I can see.

On a related note, I've returned from Mexico City with not much on-topic to report. I went to the Velodromo Augustin Melgar where Moser set the hour, but it was closed. I couldn't even bribe the gatekeeper, so I managed to find a hole in the fence and got a few mediocre pictures. I know other listmembers have had better luck than me.

Here's a current Benotto, these bikes were very popular on the streets with turn of the century style double top-tubes and cottered cranks. This example is slightly upgraded from the norm, with an Aluminum (?) frame and cotterless crank. Fully Loaded, if you will.

Mexico City is beautiful and magical and, if you get a chance, I recommend a visit!
