Everywhere: ebay , amazon , pharmacy (ops not the last one).
Also if you take a closer looksome websites are full of smp's clones , i have one of those clones but not in carbon , becouse i'm scared just on thinking to break my saddle during an aggressive road downhill. I prefer to stau away from cheeper carbon parts for security reason.
Is working pretty well , if you want i can post some photos and a little review too.
Buone pedalate.

I bought my SMP Glider from a bike shop in France (via eBay).
Oddly enough, they had the best price I could find at the time.

The one I got for my b'day a couple days back, which has not yet been installed, came from Amazon. Nashbar has some as well. When I was shopping, I did notice the full lineup you can see on SMP's website is not in evidence on Amazon, there's maybe 20% of them, and the less expensive (TRK, Extra) are easier to find.

Got a Hell from Amazon a week ago. It is heaven, after trying a container load of other saddles. But the touring line has a cover that is some sort of self skinning foam with sharp edges where the mold splits near the bottom edge. It rubs on my shorts a bit. Also, I am 2m tall, but this is absolutely the widest saddle I could use on a proper road bike. Fortunately there are many leather covered saddles and many widths in the lineup. Pricy, however. I will probably get the next one at performance so I can give it a sit.
This is the only saddle other than ISM where more padding is not less comfortable. Hate the graphics.

Oh, and one funny thing ordering it "fulfilled by Amazon"; the hang tag was shipped WITHOUT THE SADDLE! Just try to find the correct customer support option when that happens. Only option was "return for refund", sent the hang tab, with a big note saying it was not my mistake. Still waiting for a refund.
