Now i've triet finding some website that sells the saddle but havent been able to find one. So i figure i'll have to buy a different saddle but of the same quality, problem is that i'm no saddle expert. Would be great if someone could tell in what priceclass this saddle is. It came with my new Focus Mares AX3 Tiagra from wiggle, and on their description it only says "Concept EX". Pictures of saddle below.

Cool your jets, mate.
Take that bike to a shop and let them go over it for all damage
including any hidden damage before you even think about throwing a leg over it for another ride.
Let the driver pay the bill so don't be in a big hurry 'cause your life is really in the balance here with THAT bike !!!
