They promise a one-week turnaround. The cost was $75 for the rebuild and then I spent $12 on priority shipping.
I have mixed feelings about this -- I love the Selle An-Atomica saddle, and I had about 7,000 miles on it when it suddenly stretched a bunch (it has 7,500 or so, now). I had to tighten the tightening screw all the way to the end, so I figured it was only a matter of time before the leather needed replacing, and I didn't want it to fail on a ride. So I'm a little peeved that I have to have it rebuilt, but maybe 7,500 miles under my not-so-tiny-butt is all one can reasonably expect.
