I see you said "nice" specifically, but I'm throwing in whatever I've got that fits the 'race' (ish) description. Sometimes I'll opt for something way less expensive that needs a little work, like the Concor (needs a re-cover) or Turbo (needs oil & polish) pictured here. Or maybe the Globe which isn't leather, but is really comfy.
The Coda 900 (Viscount) is probably the lightest/most compact Flite-like of all, but its (Ti?) rails will need a little cleanup, which I don't mind handling. Same for the Vetta on the rails.
I'm not looking to get more than $15-20 on any of these, feel free to toss out offers. Add $8 for shipping and +$5 ship on each additional seat if more than one is appealing. More pics/close-ups possible, tell me what you need.

Thanks, but this is going on a freshly powder coated frame so I’m looking for something in nice condition.

Yeah, "upper Right" saddle VL-1418 looks like nice condition. Any idea what it is, etc.? Thinking it might be good for the Zeus track bike, which will get used for the rollers, and short flat runs on the local paved trail... does not have to be super comfortable for long rides.
Sorry sloar, not trying to hijack your WTB.

It's mint shape, pulled off a NOS '80s Bridgestone tri bike or mint Raleigh tri bike (I forget which one). Manufactured by Globe, I believe they were bought out by Specialized. 368g/13oz weight. Can't tell if the cover is leather or textured pleather, the foam under that is medium-firm. Has "VL-156" embossed in bottom plastic and a sticker "VL-1418" on it, so likely made by Velo, they mass-produce lots of seats. $20/shipped and it's yours.

You can get a NOS black textured San Marcos Rolls for $69 (plus shipping, I assume) from Bicycle Classics here (scroll down past the Brooks offerings. Or shop the Brooks offerings. It's up to you.).

If that is an America that needs a recover I might be interested. PM me Smiles, MH
