Another Italian mystery: the story behind Giame saddles. It is thought this design may even predate the Cinelli Unicantor saddle/seatpost system from the 1960s.

This is clearly where the idea for the Selle Italia Monolink post/seat system came from.
ReplyDeleteMarco Gios, of GIOS (www.giostorino.it) sent me an email with the following information:
ReplyDelete"I read on your blog about Giame saddle.
Antonio and Agostino Giamè were two brothers working as framebuilders at Gios Torino...Antonio was very smart and a brillant inventor. This saddle is an example of that!
I know this is not a big information but I was happy to tell you this part of the story!
Regards
Marco Gios"
Thank you Marco!
