Sorry I've taken so long to reply, especially since you're in pain. Just got back from 5 heavenly days in Oregon mtn biking!

I called Avocet and asked what LBS to use since I couldn't find one in stock anywhere. I had an older version on another bike and needed a new saddle for another bike. I liked the looks of the new design and it has sure worked out.

Don't know where you are, but The Rest Stop in Sacramento tries to keep 1 in stock or can order for you. I hope it works out.
