This is a vintage, heavily sprung saddle meant for cushioning hard asses from rough roads and pot holes! Yup, tested this saddle and in my personal opinion, it gives the best cushioning our ass can take! haha...Over humps, the springs works it's magic. It absorbs all the shock and transforme the shock wave into a 'horse-riding' motion. I call it 'horse-riding' motion because you really feel like riding a galloping horse...you'll bounce and that's good.
Look at the solid spring construction!
Over the years, rust have started to set in. But not much pitting that will damage the spring. Just surface rust.
Check out this vintage saddle. It's on Ebay.sg. I hope this saddle can benefit some vintage 'hard-ass'....
Got this pre-independence bicycle registration plate from an old man. Back before Singapore's independence from the British rulers, all bicycles are required to be registered. The words MCS means Municipal Council of Singapore. The plate is not painted red but is actually enamelled. That's why the top and bottom part of the plate cracked and broke off when the previous owner over tightened it.
Added a leather tool carrying pouch to pack in my tools for the long ride..

The mighty twin shock absorber! What's missing is the name plate. I think it belongs to a Hercules bicycle.
