This a pretty rare seat that I had before aquiring my triple bar, but thought it a worthy addition. Your seat looks very similar, if not the same. Would need more pics, but if it is the same, they have a wicked cool crashbar.

The seat is a Lobdell Emery, not a brand I’ve ever come across, is it rare?

I'm a lil Jelly of that original chain guard. Nice find

Thanks, I’m more than just a little stoked.

They did a good-looking job re-brazing the frame, nice save on that one!

Yeah, he did, I’m impressed. Didn’t quite match the paint, but from ten feet away you can’t tell.

Not sure, but I think it is the same as mine. They are comfortable, and I have seen the crash bar come up on ebay before on it's own.

This entire thread is really interesting and I hadn't heard of this style until this thread. Thank you for starting it and sharing it.
