Might be a long shot... I'm thinking of a cycling trip in the summer where I'd do more miles over consecutive days than I'm used to and the prospect of getting back on my weight weenie saddles one day after the next doesn't appeal. I'd like to get hold of a Selle Bassano model similar to the one on my dad's old bike (I think it came on quite a nice Claud Butler hybrid around the late 90s). I've always had a tough time with saddles and this was one of a very few I've found that I could ride all day and beyond without any discomfort. It was a Selle Bassano with "Anti-Compression" padding and the model in question also had some kind of elastomer bumpers at the back. I'd love to get hold of something fairly similar - I've not come across the exact model online but the 'AirKraft' one is the closest to it.

Some pictures of the kind of thing I have in mind, but if you've got anything close I'd be keen to know!

NOW SORTED! :D

Got an almost identical one in the shed :D
Wow, I was expecting it would take longer than 12 minutes to find one, but let's see :) If you're willing to consider parting with it I'd be pleased to get some more info/photo when you get the chance!

Now sorted thanks to kermitgreenkona88. I thought this was a real long shot as I hadn't been able to find an image anywhere online of the exact saddle, but within 12 minutes of posting Mark had come up trumps with exactly the model, and to top it off he wanted next to nothing for it too.

Happy :D
