Have TOO MANY Saddles:
Ti Flite (black leather)
Turbo (black leather)
Avocet Racing III with Aluminum rails (black leather 280 Grams)
Wrights W3n (antique brown)

I'm currently using these, but might be persuaded to part with them for the right trade:
Avocet Racing (black leather)
SLR xp (black Leather like new)
Brooks Professional (Honey almost new)
Brooks B17 Champion Special chopped and tied (British Racing Green)

WANT:
I'd Like a Brooks Swift or Swallow (long shot I know)
9 speed cassette and chain
8 speed rapid fire MTB style shifters.
8-9 speed rear cassette hub 32h
WTB Dirt Drop, or Mountain Drop, or On One Midge
or what have you?






IM me if you'd like to see pictures of something listed that I didn't post pictures for, and I'll snap some.

I wonder if I posted this in the wrong thread: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-vintage/325663-avocet-racing-saddle-r1.html

Anyways, this prolly the best place to ask this.
Avocet Racing Saddle R1
This is probably the most comfortable saddle "for me". Its the one from my Bridgestone RB1. I've tried a lot of different saddles, new and old, and nothing comes close to the comfort that the Avocet gives me. Has any Avocet R1 users found a comparable saddle? I mean comparable to newer saddles like the Specilized Toupe, Fizik Aliante's and the likes.

TIA,

I like Avocet Racing a lot. I like Turbos even better.

I used mine for about 3km and returned it the next day. I couldn't even ride it back to the store it hurt so much. I don't know what the hype is about this saddle but I still need to find a new one.

I have some saddles that need to get out of my shed.

The first I have is a Selle italia flite gel flow titanium. With Center cut out - in yellow. Perofrated area around cutout and towards back of saddle. In really good shape. No scuffs to leather, most of decals still there. I tried to make this work and just couldn't. Ridden about 150 to 200 miles. Been sitting since.

Brooks B72 saddle. Older but in new condition - if ever used, I can't tell. Medium brown - not honey brown. Nice wide seat for that older vintage ride or 3 speed.

Avocet Touring II. Small scuff on right back hip. Rest is black leather in good condition.

Vetta comfort flex. In good condition. No scuffs, decals intact. comes with its attachment for seatpost. good for women or gentlemen who like a softer, wider ride. Very cushy.

looking for -
anything terry for women
Narrower brooks or other leather saddle - B17, etc. anything green leather would be good.
Campy stuff - am building up a Vent Noir - need campy.

talk to me, perhaps we can trade. Might be interested in money (for either of us) plus something.

Let me know -

Have:
Fizik Nisene with maybe 25 miles on it (black and red)
Performance Forte Pro SLX

Want:

wtb

Have: fizik aliante sport, selle san marco m with so many markings on it that I can't figure out what the model is.

Want: low-mileage brooks seat, terry liberator, carradice (camper longflap, super c, carradura)

I have "SERFAS Dual Density Pro Kevlar with Ti rails" which I, to be honest, don't no much about and don't use.
Wonder if I could trade it for an older hammock leather saddle.

rollsroyce

HAVE
Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow. Black. Titanium Rails. Minor wear and abrasion on the top from riding in jeans. The word "Flite" on nose rubbed off.


WANT
Brooks. Something sprung would be cool, but not necessary. Black or honey brown, in whatever condition (in fact the more worn the better because its for my girls ride and she wont like riding a hard-ass new brooks.)

edit: actually, not the more worn in the better, just the more slightly broken in the better.

Swap a Terry Fly Ti (under 65 miles use) for a WTB pure V team in black.....

ricardo kuhn

Wanted Celeste Color Female specific seat...

My girlfriends wants a Celeste seat, no matter what, maybe somebody here has one for sale or trade.

I'm aware Avocet made a O2 "F" model "heart shape" on that color (I use to have one years ago) and I'm also pretty sure they made a "Julia furtado signature edition" on that color also..

For TraDe just let me know I have some many high end male seat I will need a whole posting to list them.

Or we can also purchase if prefered.


thanks in advance

Ricardo

ps: this exchange is a really great idea, I wish I know about it years ago.

Ok this is a bit of a long shot, I have a Bontrager Race Luxe that came stock on my '06 LeMond Etape, anywho I like the saddle and I have one on one bike but today on my first half century (YAY!) I noticed that it doesn't do justice on long rides, so I am looking to see if anyone has anything that maybe be a "step up" from this saddle?

Long shot I know...

Cipher

Have a 2007 Fizik Vitesse Road Bike Saddle, black/silver with Ti rails. Want a San Marco Triathlon Gel Saddle.

Ok I just saw this thread and had to get in. I have a ton of saddles, but they're all at my house (posting from work). Later on I will make a list of what I have and what I want, but for now let's start with these:

Have:
- Black Specialized Toupe 143 (8/10 condition)
- Bontrager Race Lite CRZ (9/10 condition, looks new)

Want:
- Tioga Spyder saddle (black preferably but I guess white would work)
- Selle Italia: Thoork Gel Flow, Flite (standard, gel flow, or Kit Carbonio), any Signo
- SSM: Concor Light, I will think of more later
- Specialized BG Rival SL

or make offers.

Pretty much only interested in black saddles - white may be considered based on what saddle it is. Blue, red, etc are right out.

Later I'll figure out all the saddles I have and which ones I'm willing to trade...

What kind of seatpost is this? I can't read that writing, but I really like it!
