*Okay, a little more information about an upcoming Rivendell saddle from Grant on Reddit:*
:Bingo, but not all good news. Details, requirements, timing. But still, yes. I don't know whether it's just you, brindonoid, or everybody reading this (not Redditt-fluent and prob never will be)..but if it's just you, I'd be happy to spill the whole can of beans about it. I don't, uh, "trust the community" to hear the details and not get all judgey and mean, and I don't have the constitution for that. So if it's you, find out how to pm me, if it's worth it, and if you kinda wanta know more. I'm glad that you like the B.68. No saddle works for everybody, but that one is nearly perfect. We are also and slightly unbelievably working on, let's just call it, a cheap plastic saddle that will be less fun but more affortable, and with the features we like (includeing bag loops). If somebody else made it we'd get it, but there are like five quintillion plastic saddles out there, a small amount of variation, and I've seen none with bag loops.
