I threw together an Avocet saddles page at Avocet | saddlewax.com.
Any contributions (photos, links and info) would be most welcome.

Thank you so much Amir!

I never quite understood the differences in the model I, II and III. I know you seldom see model III style saddles-

I've had a few Avocet saddles over the years but never knew anything about them.

Thanks!

I really wish these things were still available. Great way to color a bike without buying a new seat.

What's interesting is that for as ubiquitous as the Avocet saddles are, they're actually really good saddles. I've seen where people don't respect that saddle and then come to realize what they really are.

I've amassed a small collection of Avocet Touring II saddles- I'd like to get my grubby paws on a clean III.

Another thing, I've noticed from examples on eBay there are what appears to be different shapes.
