Cinelli Unicantor #1 Saddle: Unpadded Smooth Black Leather - Yellow Logos - 1970's

Before the legendary Cinelli Unicantor saddle was released in the 1960's, all saddles were either Brooks style solid leather, or plastic junk.  The Unicantor was the first to have a plastic shell, covered with a bit of padding and leather.  It's the basic premise most modern saddles are based on!  One of the most influential bicycle components of the 20th century.

This is a number one model, smooth leather with no padding. Yellow logos, molded underside logos. This is a late 1960's to late 1970's version

Condition

Great used shape. Fairly low miles with some cosmetic wear that looks like its from storage/handling more than it is riding.  Leather does not show the dulling of color it gets with a lot of rubbing on shorts, decals in wonderful shape. There's some odd line marks on top, wear to the lower edges of side skirts (storage off the bike wear), a few little scuffs on top at rear. Rear corners are reasonably clean, a bit of light scuffs maybe.  Other random minor cosmetic wear. Not the prettiest, but a ton of life left in it. Rails and underside are quite clean.
