Avocet O2 Air 40r Titanium

So i recently got this old Ross bike on a trade (i traded away a bike i got for free so no harm done). The frame was sprayed black and probably pretty generic. had shimano light-action derailleurs/shifter with i'm keeping to build something up in the future (although i know they arent super). and it had an Avocet O2 Air 40r saddle with Titanium rails. I was going to through this on an old Giant road bike for a flip but i was looking it up online and realized it might be a somewhat sought after saddle. it shows a bit of a wear but is generally in pretty good shape. its black with red accents on the front and sides.

So is this saddle worth something? or is it s super awesome comfortable saddle that should be kept and used. just looking for opinions etc.

thanks.

Just use it, it's not a piece to collect or something. Avocet is making saddles again or at least has plans to from talking with them. I suspect this is one of them as it was poplular. So, no . . .it's not a highly valuable saddle or anything.

I saw a VGC one on ebay recently that sold for like $55. I think they retailed for above $80 or so. They're not like Turbos for desirability. Use it and enjoy it, when they make some more buy another one.
