Nevermind, beyondbikes.com has the pave, which is the one I want. Should I pay 30 dollars extra for ti rails?(the only other option is cro-mo rails)

Ti rails will save you some weight and give you a slight ride difference. The Ti will likely absorb more vibration than the Cro-mo while being lighter. At least that is what the ad wizards would tell you.

I'd say pop for the Ti. I don't know what the weight difference is, but it's probably a pretty reasonable in terms of $$/grams. And if you don't, at some point you're probably gonna start kicking yourself... 'why didn't I just get the Ti?'

There is an auction on eBay for Pave:

Has your riding skills evolved so you can tell the weight and ride difference from the TI rails? If yes is the answer, spend the extra money. :D Personally, I've been riding all my life and couldn't tell the difference on some weight related components. Yet, I bought them. :) PS, my bike was built by Beyondbikes... :D

I have the pave on my cdale

I don't know...if you're rich, go for the ti rails. I'm sure you'll feel better that you're saving an extra 10 grams. However, if you're a poor student like I am...then go with the cro-mo

I think I may get the cro mo rails. There are a lot of pot holes in my neck of the woods.

I ordered a pave from the company website. best saddle I've ever ridden. Also, in addition to the ti rails, get the twin-tec gel insert. Very comfy.

Markster, As I understand it, the company website is overseas. How long did it take for you to received your saddle?

Thanks:D
