You are seriously trolling.
That is my (oh so heavy 240g) saddle in the hook.
So, a 4 pound (claimed) difference. I'm not seeing this in the Ti choice alone, since your frame and fork are not that much lighter than my frame/fork.
For a guy like me, that's less than 2% difference in rider/bike weight.
Relax. You are good with your choice. Yours is a good frame. Stop preaching.
ok so with pedals you are around 21 pounds, so 5 pound penalty! I was off by a pound. I know there are some light steel frames out there. People forget I am running full carbon wheels, full rim brakes, full deda carbon bars, carbon fork, fabric saddle with Ti rails, etc. this was weighed on a professional scale at a bike shop. yes it’s 16lbs with the egg beaters on. If I went more weight weenie it would not be too hard to get to 15
