I can't seem to find a Selle Italia Flite (not the SLR model) Gel Flow in white in the USA. Anyone know a good source? Thanks.

World Cycling Productions used to stock them.

Total Cycling in Ireland used to have them as well. Their service was pretty good.

As a close-but-not-quite alternative, Specialized makes a similar looking saddle in white with medium blue trim.

Excel Sports seems to carry them per the website.

I think Colorado Cyclist has them in five colors including white in the original shape - the original shape on close out. The new ones are just out. And I saw one on ebay the other night in white.

eBay + Krylon = All-white saddle

I'll send you a bill for the consulting.

A couple of years ago Nashbar was blowing out white original Flites for about $29. Idiot me didn't snap up a huge reserve. There is a NIB one on ebay for $199. Supah Hot.

I just recently pulled one from one of my other bikes as I couldn't stomach the low availability and high cost.

Slightly used on Ebay went for $79 last night. Excel doesn't really have them even though the web says they do.

New style not old faithful. Has anyone seen or tried the new style Flite?

A Selle Italia Flite Gel Flow? Like this, but in white?

Update. Italtechno had a Max Gel Flow in white. The Max is now the same length as the Flite Gel Glow, just wider. I am going to mount this on my Legend and see how it feels:

Did you call Excel? On their website if you select the old or the new white Flite Gel it ultimately goes to unavailable.

Crap. I just got the one I rushed to order from Nashbar and have discovered it is the Flite MAX, too wide for me. Anybody want it??
