High-End Panasonic

[Freeman]

From a local second-hand venue, a Columbus SP/SL framed, Suntour Superb equipped Panasonic sold in the USA under the Schwinn brand. Has sew-ups, Cinelli bars and stem, and Gran Comp brakes. Aired up the old rotting sew-ups and took it for a ride of several miles gingerly just to feel what it rode like. Will mothball it and add it to my list of 4793 things to do in the last few years before I kick the bucket.

That's lovely. A nice size too, a great find.

What saddle is that?

What saddle is that?

Some POS cheapo road bike saddle from the 70s that was in a junk-box in my garden shed, because someone had stuck some five-pound gel seat on the bike which I threw in the trash as fast as I could. I will look around for a Selle SanMarco, what it supposedly was equipped with new.
