Saddles - what else is there apart from Flites/Selle Italia that are cool/retro/

[sam_white]

Titec Beserker, but may be just on the wrong side of retro.

Bontrager Titanium.

Charge Spoon/Knife but definitely too modern for a retro.

Brooks………..I’ll get my coat.

Wtb SST in it's many variations. My tookas likes the super early version that is pretty much flat with the rails tucked up and with no up curve in the back and no down sloped nose. Unfortunately that version is really hard to find.

Or I like the Terry Fly or Butterfly. They might not be vintage mtn per sey, they look pretty good on a 90's mtn bike. And they come in fancy titanium flavors too.

I'm surprised that a lot of people are suggesting saddles, yet not one person has asked roughly what year do you want a saddle for. Without this knowledge, the only valid suggestion has been Brooks, which are somewhat timeless. Doesn't the date range of bicycles that we discuss here cover about a 20 year timespan?

Thanks. I am looking for something simple and black, understated for a 98 Kona Ku!

+1 for Ritchey Vector Plus rail, a supremely comfortable saddle which also looks good!

I am partial to San Marco Regal and it's derivatives, be it Viscount or Velo branded saddles based on the same design.
They look good and are comfy too, with the original saddle fitted to my '91 GT Avalanche being my favourite!
However, I have two of my current GT's fitted with Flites which I used in the past too, including my 1993 Zaskar LE.
Not as comfortable as the aforementioned saddles as I get older...

WTB - If you like plain black understated, they have a number of nice ones
I have 3 of them

Terry's is 90's - I used the women's saddles with the big hole in the middle. Liberator. Had one on an Amp B2 and a C16R.
