That would knock off 85g off my current saddle.
And, that's ridiculously light for a saddle with actual padding on it.

see...i would rather just take a piss before the ride or eat smaller portions from time to time than ride on a stick covered in leather...or pay the money for a seat with no real padding to it, although if i was going for one of those kind of seat it would be the SLR...

what's up with all the compacts...
read euro rule below.
31. Gearing shall be restricted to a titanium Campy Record 11-23 cassette with a ABSOLUTE MINIMUM of 42-53 up front. One must never be seen pedaling at a cadence greater than 90 rpm in order not to detract from one’s calm/smooth factor, or “Suplesse.” The use of 25-toothed cog is acceptable for severely mountainous training situations.

Just in case you guys missed this...My GF rocks. She's an artist.
I asked her to make my fork prettier and she did.

Will have pretty new pics in about 3 weeks... Just ordered my wheelset. 15 days build time and then shipping from Las Vegas to Fort Wayne... I'm a big feller, so no weight weenie stuff for me. Velocity Deep V's, lime green, black spokes/nipples, black White Industries hubs, 36 spokes F/R... Should hold up great while I keep losing pounds and will look amazing on my BBQ Black Caad9 with SRAM Rival/Force... I'll be changing out the bar tape to match. No more white tape, probably going with the green Lizard Skins tape. It's currently got blue speedplay X-1 pedals on it so I'll be swapping those out for some Team Green Speedplay zeros (Chromoly, which have black spindles)
