Looking for a saddle similar to selle Italia prolink
I started riding again recently. It has been about 10 years. I started again about 4 weeks ago. I had purchased this used as a trial when looking for a saddle in the past.
I didn't like it then although never gave it a fair shot. Anyways, it now seems to agree with my butt unlike the stock saddle from the steel bianchi I'm riding nor the selle Italia slr I own as well (the selle Italia slr is too narrow and is a hachet for me ).
The selle Italia prolink gel is yellow and pretty worn by the previous owner.
Im looking for something similar with a cutout and in white. I wanna try a cut out as I still get a smidge of taint numbness with the gel prolink.
I measured my sit bones at home on the coffee table with the piece of paper over the damp paper towel trick. I'm about 120mm apart center to center and I believe the prolink is listed at 143mm which seems about right.
I'm honestly looking for used or cheap. Weight isn't an issue since I have about 25-35lbs to loose until I need to worry about the weight of my bike.
Any recommendations.

I'm looking for something in white so it'll be more fitting to the rest of the Celeste and white color scheme as the hoods, cables, bar tape are all white. Although black is still better than the worn yellow at the moment.
Haven't been able to find a used white prolink of any kind so far

Sorry I just got done editing my original post with some more detail.

Get a black saddle.
