I have an "AS NEW" Fizik Pavé - rear plastic base/scuff guard is goldish yellow (not metallic gold, just deep yellow/gold).
I used the saddle for 1/2 mile and quickly decided that this was way too narrow for my old butt. It is 130 mm width, which seems defacto for the 'performance' saddles these days.
Leather is in new condition, saddle for all intents, except my short test ride, is new. It has a great shape and has firm but comfortable support. Shame it is too narrow for me.
Saddles I would trade for:
Selle Italia Trans AM XO - this is the saddle listed as 'MTB' by the manufacturer. It has a center channel cutout, more 'old-style' width (150 mm I think...) and is a vinyl cover. One of the cheaper Selle Italia saddles, but it fits me very well. Would like it in excellent condition.
Other saddles I would swap for: Older stye Selle Italia Turbo - not expecting new, but gotta be in OK shape (no tears or big scrapes, no saggy leather). Selle San Marco Strada or Strada Hi-Pro (basically the same), gotta have a solid (no seams) leather top. For Stradas I have no interest in any embroidered or later versions with seams on the seating or side surfaces.The Strada Gel is also not wanted, it has a sewn in center gel panel and is a different shell shape than the older and original 'strada' saddles.
Thanks for lookin
