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.

did you see this? https://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'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.
