Nice. While searching I figured out they came out with a "Flite 1990" version which is supposedly true to the original. In all black. Thinking about trying to find one of those. Also stumbled across some threads with guys talking about re-covering old saddles and that might be worth a shot.
This one is weird because I look at it, and it looks so uncomfortable, it's literally covered in huge, raised stitches and writing. But once I'm on it it's great. Even doing quite a bit in just boxers and normal shorts/jeans.
