I've been trying to figure out whether I would ever consider going with a Brooks saddle on my bikes, but them weighing in like a "bag of spanners", have always got in the way of doing so. I don't think we can neccessarily blame just Brooks for the heavy saddles, suspension type saddles just usually weigh so much because of their basic design architecture and materil requirements. "modern" saddle makers tried to solve this by coming up with saddles like the Selle Italia "Storika" or just provide similar aesthetics with saddles like the Concor Regal and Selle Italia Daytona with their similar to Brook"s big rivets that are mounted on their saddle for only cosmetic purposes.
