In the new (march ) issue of bicycling there is a story by Michael Barry about cyclist in the spanish town of Girona. On the first page is a pic. of a flite saddle, older style flite not the new style flite and it's got the white and red Team cover. Anyone know were you can buy this? Thanks for any help.

Although I haven't seen the photo, Universal Cycles ( http://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/index.php?category=155 ) has a large selection. I guess I can't remember what the old Flite looks like.

But most were the new flight. though at different angles they look like they could be the older.

I would email pronet cycling who controle Selle Italia in North America and ask, but I've seen two of the old style with red stripe on non pro bikes.

I was looking at an Excel Sports catalogue today and they have that saddle (196 gms) advertised for 170.

Everybody has the one pictured above with the hole in the end, I'm looking for the older original style flite.

I e-mailed pronet cycling as suggested by peztech and they e-mailed back saying it was pro only issue not for sale.

If you absolutely want one i dont think you should let that one in france slip away since they seem so hard to find. Maybe you can get some help from a forumite in France?!
