I believe those shops are part of a common online template and or network, whatever that may be. I found some of Selle Royal saddles the same way and from a shop with that same looking template. Seemingly every retailer was sold out and I looked long and deep, but then I got "creative" in my searches and like PFM, this shop appeared and they were in stock. It's the shops that have the actual parts though, they don't send out to a centralized warehouse like some may do. It's a way for once "local only" shops to serve customers on a broader scale. The shop I bought the saddles from did a superb packing job, and yes I'm aware of what Riv does. I emailed the shop and thanked them, that it reminded me of what people who care about such things can do and it's appreciated. They responded that they were just getting into shipping items, so good for them.
