Ok in the next chapter of Sirrus Comp Carbon upgrades I made the mistake of visiting my local Specialized dealer yesterday and came home with these items.
Before (factory Targa saddle, factory alum seat post):
After (Romin Evo Expert Gel saddle, S-Works Pave SL carbon seat post):
Weights:
Factory alum seat post:
310.095 grams
Factory Targa saddle:
353.795 grams
S-Works carbon seat post:
215.535 grams
Romin Evo Expert saddle:
279.320 grams
Net savings =
169.035 grams
Combined upgrades have so far almost taken a pound off the weight of the bike.
I did a quick couple laps around the block and first impressions are really good! Looking forward to a long ride either this evening or tomorrow to really put the saddle through it's paces.
