1991 Marin Eldridge Grade Saddle

Hi, I have a 1991 Marin Eldridge Grade and after 30 years I’ve decided to ride it. Only problem is the saddle seems to have partly disintegrated. What would you recommend as a replacement. I would like to keep it as original looking as possible as the rest of the bike is as it came out of the box. Any advice would be appreciated.

A Turbo would look right on an early 90's mtb.

If you really want to keep it close to original, try to find a Marin Lite saddle as that's what it probably came with from the factory. I have a '92 and the catalog says mine came with that.
