For Sale - saddle swap

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
This was suggested in the road forum and the mods agree that this
would be a good idea.
So, is that Selle Italia Flite more like a hatchet than a comfy seat?
Is your new Brooks B17 a Brick?
Post what you've got that you're willing to pass on.
Marty
Thanks Marty for getting this started. :)
Guess I'll kick this off with a feable attempt to pass on a spare saddle I don't need.
Have:
1) Vetta Anatomic - OEM on an early 80's Centurion. Had 'Centurion Anatomic' on the sides but I removed lettering w/ nail polish remover recently. Fairly heavy padding, great shape. Would make for a good commuter saddle.
2) Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow TransAm. Moderately used, purchased from the LBS as a take off a few months back. Ti rails, leather has many miles left in it. Looking for something slightly wider - highly prefer a cut-out design.
EDIT: Pictures coming soon. Searching/Google-ing for 'Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow' should return pics of that saddle. :)
Looking for:
1) For the Vetta saddle - let me know what you have. :)
2) For the Flite - Looking for something slightly wider - highly prefer a cut-out design. Specalized saddles currently high on my list.

I have:
Older Selle Italia Flite. Black perforated leather (?) cover, Ti rails. Very light, and pretty narrow - came off of a racing bike. Good condition with no rips or tears.
What I'm looking for:
More comfortable leather covered saddlr for riding centuries. Blue/blue trim and cut out a big plus.

I have a specialized body geometry alias 143 (md size I think). It was purchased about 3 or 4 months ago. Pretty good condition. No scuffs or tears. Markings on Ti rails are worn though. Only pic I have is on the bike:

You're in luck. I have one, except it's got white trim. Looks identical, and it's brand new. I took it off a Specalized Allez Comp a few years ago and it's been gethering dust ever since. I don't want such a small saddle (being 6'4") but if you can find a good home for the Alias, maybe we can arrange a three-person swap.

Have: Flite Genuine Gel, Ti, black, nearly new
Want: Avocet Racing 1, like used to come on Bridgestone RB-1s
Technically my saddle is going to be much newer and worth more, but I don't care. Racing 1s are hard to find and seem to be personally designed just for me. A simple trade for a clean one is all I'm looking for. Preferably black, but we can talk about a white one, too.

I have: Selle San Marco Aspide
130mm wide, 180grams.
Looking for: 155mm wide Specialized Alias, or something in that range. I'm 5'9" 150lbs, but my sit bones are wider than average and I don't think even a 143mm saddle would fit me properly.
Have:
White Turbo Perforated Like New
White Regal Perforated Like New
Need:
Cinelli Unicanitor (non-suede) in good shape
Newer Brooks (no spring) saddle

OK, I recently purchased a NEW Brooks B17N from SpaCycles.com (great price). So my Aliante is up for grabs. Its the Aliante SPORT, so it doesn't have carbon/titanium on it. So if anyone is interested in it, I'll accept a trade for it.
Email me if you are interested

game for suggestions on something that is somewhat wide, white (sorry, black just won't match) and comfy.
EDIT: both of the haves are now gone, but I would still love to try the regal, especially if it is white, but black will work--I will throw it on my commuter in that case. Let me know what you want to trade, I will take a peek in the storage closet.

Have:
Brooks B17 in Honey - photos (http://oregonstate.edu/~davisda/bin/brooks/) - used for 8 months but replaced it with a more weather proof saddle for winter... decided to stick with the new saddle. Has been proofided regularly... more of an antique brown color now.
Fizik Vitesse - photo (http://oregonstate.edu/~davisda/bin/fizik_1.jpg) - brand new, never mounted. Ti rails... bought for a bike for my girlfriend but we parted ways before it was done. Oh well.
Looking for:
Selle San Marco Regal pref in black with Ti rails but will consider steel rails.
