Nope, not still available new. I was just adding to what another poster mentioned about what came on an older bike of his.

Ive run across a couple of Touring II saddles as they were on bikes I bought to refurbish. Basic saddles, but darn comfortable for the distances Ive ridden on them. Another really comfortable saddle from that period is the Vetta saddle that came stock on a bunch of 80s ATB/MTBs and some road bikes. There was no model name, but its pretty recognizable once you see it a few times. I have one on an old rigid frame MTB and love it. If I didnt use Brooks saddles and was searching for something that worked well, I would use that Vetta until I found something better. 30+ year old design, but its simple and solid.
