Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

nope....i get to ride this one, and that's the saddle that goes perfectly with my azz...although I have an all carbon saddle that is 60 grams lighter and would drop the weight below 14 pounds...so long as I don't try to ride much more than 30 miles at a time...

Just over 2ounces? BWAAA HA HA HA HA, I really don't see the point when I would most likely sweat more than that during the ride.

Almost a shame to wrap those bars....
