I replaced the San Marco Rolls and fitted a slightly more period appropriate saddle to my 1979 professional MkV today
A 1977 Brooks Competition (came off my Brompton), took about 45 minutes of adjusting the fore, aft, angle and tension. But it’s pretty much there. I’ll make any final adjustments after a longer ride, but really pleased with it and suits the bike well.
I’ve now picked up a pair of very clean used black B17 narrows so both Brompton's will have the same saddle.
