Saddle

Flite is a good choice, but you'll struggle to find one dated 1990 I'd imagine (if that matters). Earliest I tend to see are about '92/'93, but it's still the same design.

Flites on both my Yetis...
i have a very well used one dated 91!
 
Flites for all my builds except a Turbo (repro) on my Ritchey. I found the Flite the most comfortable saddle I'd ever tried when first tried in the early 90s and never looked back. They are also great looking and very light.

I'm personally good with any Flite other than the repros. I'm not keen on the new low slung rails. They still look good but not as good. Not sure why they did this, maybe to accommodate larger seatpost heads, clearance?
 
hmmm 1990 ... well ... I can't remember the exact intro date but we rushed to Avocet 02 ti 40s when they came out. Very very comfortable in a super lightweight package.
