I was hoping to purchase this Salle Italia saddle, with a nubuck finish, but it doesn’t appear to be available anymore. Does anymore have an alternative option?
I picked this up for my Checkpoint that is in matte pennyflake and think it looks amazing together. But if I recall correctly, this was a limited edition saddle. Not sure it’ll come back.

They make the original flite in a similar brown color, but not suede. Heritage Flite Racer, I believe

That sucks, it’s my favorite saddle. Competitive Cyclist ordered mine for me late last year when Selle Italia’s website said out of stock; might try reaching out to them to see if they can source more, but unlikely if it’s no longer produced. The “gravel” version is a copperish tan/brown color w/ a gel insert.

I just saw a few for $220-350 USD on ebay…Selle Italia is my go to but they are usually pretty spendy to begin with and this model is clearly scarce. If you’re just looking for this color S.I. makes other saddles very similar or identical to this brown.

You could always go the Berk Lupina with Cognac leather.
