anyone know of a source of cheap saddles? I have a couple road bikes id like to finish and i need saddles for them. THey are likely going to be flips at this point.

Check LBS, they sometimes have cheap take-offs from new sales or look at the co-op.

came in here to post this.

one of the LBS here has a box of take offs... $20. They are mostly Bontrager but they are all brand new and there is a pretty good variety.
