WTB: Higher-end, Red Road/Racing Saddle
Hi,
I'm looking for a higher-end, red road/racing saddle, from roughly the 1990 to 2000'ish era, that will compliment a build I'm working on. I'm hopeful for something in "pretty good" condition (or better) with very little, if any, scuffing. But I'm also not trying to break the bank (like with this $299 NOS beauty shown below).
The prime candidate is probably a Selle Italia Flite but I'm open to other interpretations.
Ideally, I'd like a red saddle but I would also be interested in a black saddle with red accents.
Thank you for any leads!

Sorry that I am such a computer Luddite. I received something that might have been from you but the message said something about a pop-up blocker. I have not figured out how to post photos & I do not have a payment account. The saddle that I have is a darker red Stelle Italia Flite titanium with black inserts and gel. It is practically new with no wear, blemishes or scuffs. I believe I purchased it new in the early 2000's. If you are still interested and can somehow contact me, we can talk.

There’s a guy on Paceline with a nice looking Fizik that’s bright red. Worth a gander.
