Finally, an Avocet Racing RIII. This is very similar to the Selle Italia Turbo, but has aluminum rails for weight-weenie goodness. 293g versus 364g for the Turbo. As before, willing to consider trades for Brooks Professional or B17 "standard," Idéale mod. 90 or 92. US$40 shipped continental USA:

I can't see the photos either. What color is the Bernard Hinault saddle?

Not sure why the pictures aren't showing. I've edited all the previous posts to include the images as attachments. Never had to do that before. And one I forgot to include earlier, Brooks B72. US$35 shipped continental USA.

Ok. This is weird. Something in the Bike Forums vBulletin software is preventing my pictures from showing up. If I edit one of the posts above, and go to "Preview Changes," all the images show up. But when I save the edited messages, they all disappear again.
When I edit a message, my "img" tags have all been changed to "src" tags. WTF is going on?

No, I went back and edited all the posts and changed the remote image tags to attachments.
Still not sure why I had to do that…

The B17 narrow is my most favorite saddle..... I would happily trade it for a Team Pro, but that is not offered. Not to mention that I have no way to actually do the trade. Shipping.
