WTB Women's Saddle (Avocet or...?)
WTB/Trade for women's Avocet saddle in good condition. I finally found a bike my daughter likes and rides, but don't want to break the bank as we trial-and-error saddles. Have multiple decent condition San Marco Regals (men's/white) or lots of other random parts available for trade, or PayPal if the price is right. Thanks!

PM sent to Slowride79. Thanks to all. If his offering doesn't get the job done I may be in touch on that white Selle Italia.

I don't have a saddle to offer, just a comment.
My wife has a couple of Avocet saddles, but prefers her Terry's for comfort. She has both older Terry Sport and modern Terry Butterfly saddles.

I have a Lady Turbo, white perforated leather, no tears or scrapes, only negative is a small rust stain. If you're interested you can have it for free; let me know if you are interested and I'll post a photo.
