Source for decent orange saddles?
 
Back before building my new computer I had bookmarked a source where I had found some orange Selle Italia Flite saddles. Now of course I want one and can't for the life of me remember where it was, nor can I find it on Google.

Anyone happen to know of a source for them these days? If not a Flite, how about suggestions for other decent orange saddles. The ones I see on eBay are all Origin8 or some other off-brand (likely Chinese) cheapo saddles.

I'm kicking myself here for not snagging it back when I first found them. :cry:

did you see this? http://taticycles.com/p/203

also there's a thread about how to recover a saddle ---- maybe you could do that to an old Flite with some orange leather link

That might not be a bad idea. I've never done that sort of thing before but it might be a good way to get just the right color on a saddle that I know is butt compatible for me. :)

That has potential although I have never ridden a Fizik saddle before. I've always felt at home on Turbos or Flites. Anyone know how they compare?

That's my GT Edge with the Antares 'test' saddle. Rides great, and I run a Regal on my other bikes for comparison.

Looked for a new-ish one for a long time, but they are out there. Figure about $100 including shipping for one in excellent shape.

If you like Flites, you'll probably like Antares.

If you like Turbos or Regals, you'll probably like Aliantes.

My 2c.
