This is what I was thinking with this query though. If you're going to go weight weenie, go all in. A Brooks with Ti rails is like a boat anchor with drillium. It's still really heavy.

I'm not generally one to judge people for crazy ideas, and at the end of the day 100 grams is 100 grams. I've seen people do much crazier things to save weight. But I can't get past how heavy a Brooks saddle is.

I try not to be a weight weenie myself. Weight has nothing to do with why most of my bikes don't have Brooks saddles. I just honestly prefer Specialized plastic saddles. But let me drop this on you.... For a couple of bikes, I picked up Specialized Toupe saddles with Ti rails. I bought them for the colors, but let me tell you these things weigh nothing. I think the total weight of the saddle is like 170 grams. Compared to a Brooks, that's almost enough difference that you'd notice! And you can get them for under $100, often as low as $40.
