Really liking the saddle that's come with my Kona Dr Dew (normally get rid of the saddles that come with the bike) it's nice and wide without too much padding and there's a bit of a step down from the arse to the nose, all the reasons I like my SQ Lab 611 and I'm guessing a good bit cheaper too! Can't buy them direct from Kona and my Google Fu has otherwise failed me, anyone on here know? It's listed as a 'Kona Commuter' - I suppose the sensible thing would be to e-mail them...

can't see anything underneath, just the date and month dials printed and perhaps some small circular logo that has ridge like lines across it with a V.

doesn't seem to be a WTB, think my Jake came with a rocket (one of said saddles I replaced - can't get on with the narrowness)

Ah-Ha! TT has it, just clicked on the Velo OEM link - thanks! Not sure if that means I can't buy direct ๐Ÿ™

You might have a tough time finding the exact Velo saddle that you want...

Looks similar to the Stellar 157mm from Madison - they're made by Velo.

There are wider and narrower versions too - 136/145/157/163mm - measure the width of yours and see if it matches?
