I probably have a Selle Royal Seta S1. I say "probably" because that's what was listed on the Cannondale site when I bought my 2017 CAAD12 in 2016. The saddle only has "Selle Royal" and "Seta" written on it.

I tore the edge of it in a wreck last year. I'd like to get another just like it, but I can't find anyone selling new ones. I bought a Selle Royal Seta M1 from Amazon because the picture looked just like mine, but when it arrived it didn't look like the picture and had a lot more padding.

I tried a Fabric Scoop Shallow, but it was too curved and too padded. I need a flat saddle with minimal padding. Any suggestions?

This is what my current saddle looks like:

Looks like a Fizik Antares VS

Edit.. if you wanted a flat saddle, why did you try a Scoop Shallow, and not the Scoop Flat ?

It is indeed a Selle Royal Seta S1, and there are plenty on eBay, in your choice of colors.

Those come stock on cervelo s series 2014/2017

They must still make them, I have a brand new one I took off my cervelo. SR Seta, all black aluminium rails

Check out the Selle Italias ranging from the SLS Kit Carbonio at the low end to the SLR and SL Flite Flow at the upper end. Profile is nearly identical to your old saddle.

I've been riding the SLS Kit Carbonio for two months, about 700 miles, no complaints. It's the 131mm width -- my sit bones are pretty narrow -- but I probably could have handled the 140mm width. Snagged it for only $20 -- it was the last one an Amazon vendor had, fulfilled and shipped by Amazon so it arrived the same day. I expected a major transition since I'd been riding a thickly padded, Lycra over foam woman's saddle styled like a short nosed old style Selle Turbo. But after two or three rides of 20-30 miles to get the angle and fore/aft right, it's been great. Minimal padding, nearly flat with only the very slightest rear rise -- comparable to the Fizik Antares I saw at the LBS but with less padding.

I thought I'd prefer one with cutout for perineum relief but so far haven't needed it, although my rides are usually 20-40 miles. But it's been fine with my minimally padded AeroTech Pro shorts -- just thick microfiber faux-chamois, no gel or foam, no loft.

I've tried various angles, including nose-down Sunday, but prefer it level. With the nose even a single notch down I'm fighting gravity and wasting energy shoving myself backward. With the saddle level I just plop down after standing to climb and it's on the sweet spot. Sunday's 45 mile ride was the only time I finished with slight soreness on the site bone area -- but that was with the nose angled down. After about 25 miles I tipped it back up one notch, still wasn't happy, then set it level again for the final 10 miles home and it felt just right. While I like the long narrow nose for occasional use and for balancing the bike, I wouldn't want to ride the nose for 50 miles, at least not with my minimally padded shorts.

Anyway, I like it well enough I'd consider the higher priced similarly designed Selle Italias. But the Fiziks were pretty similar and available as testers from my LBS.

Because that's all my bike shop had, and I didn't know I needed a flat saddle until I tried a less flat saddle.

All of the other saddles at my bike shop have thick padding.


When I checked eBay all I saw was used saddles. But I must not have checked hard enough. I will try one of those, thanks!

+1 for the prologo Zero.

Fizik Arione?
