for a similar steel bike? I'd say thats pretty light, but the guy with a Columbus SL frame and Brooks saddle with Ti Rails might disagree.

I'm not allowed to be a weight weenie until I drop 20 pounds though.
Those Brooks saddles even with TI Rails are twice as heavy as a more modern looking race saddle. The Brooks will be around 400g while a modern race will hit in the 190-250g range.
