Hi Van

The Team Pro saddle has been deleted from our catalogue (since June 2019), I am sorry, and there is no plan to bring it back.

The Swift and the Swallow are still current, but in the version with chrome plated steel rails only (titanium versions have also been removed from the catalogue)Â

That does sound pretty definitive, doesn't it?
This was what I had understood from your original post - confirming a worrying suspicion I'd had after seeing them drop out of sight with multiple North American distributors.
They must have a business case for the move, but it does feel like the end of an era.
At least I've got three or four of 'em I can keep riding for the next few decades...
