Does anyone know what saddle featured in the classic Yellow Pages advert? I'm looking for something sharp looking from the 80's.

The saddle I would guess was a Brooks swallow ? Mind you the advert was from the early 70's I think

Looks like a San Marco Rolls from the upstairs bedroom.

You own a massive TV !

I'd buy a Concor saddle, like this one....

That'll be nearly 30 years of even more modern stuff occuring since!
Where does "retro" begin and end by the way. At some point the stuff from within your own lifetime becomes retro stuff I've found.

The very words in my head after chatting with you about my mystery frame!

Retro begins when kids start laughing at your old bike.

Great ad, it was never run in the states, I would have remembered that one.
