Ultra lightweight saddle for show bike?
I'm working on a light bike for my company to take to Interbike and I wanted to know of some ideas for a lightweight saddle. I'm looking for something hopefully sub 100g. Anybody make one in the U.S.? elsewhere?
I already know about M2Racer, Selle Italia, Selle San Marco, and AX-Lightness. who else is there?
thanks

I think those are all the companies that make <140g saddles. Reading the thread title I was going to suggest the Selle Italia 110g "Thoork" saddle that was on display at Eurobike:
I don't think anything lighter than the Selle Italia C64 exists (78 grams?)
Just looking at it makes my ass hurt.

I know that M2Racer makes a 43g saddle , so 78g is crazy light, but not the lightest.

This ax-lightness saddle looks more like a carbon fibre sex toy than a saddle:
"48 to 58 gram" says the website
