The sole reason that thing exists is for parking lot bragging rights. Experienced cyclists will giggle as they mount their Turbos (http://www.bikecult.com/works/saddles/turbobhinault.jpg) and Rolls. (http://www.excelsports.com/image/San%20Marco%20Rolls%20Titanium%20Saddle%20no%20embroidery.jpg)

The rolls rocks ;)
Done well over a 1000 miles on mine and its sweet as ever.
Forgot to add the link in the original post. Fixed.
i bet that was a right f***er in the prototype stage for breakage and stress fractures.
Ã,£200 for a tour de force in materials science... OK for short course TTs, i bet, but no club rider in the world would touch that, i would hope... imagine doing an all dayer on it?!
Its not even good for TTs as the shape doesnt allow for the proper TT without discomfort. :lol: Its supposed to be a general purpose saddle. :rofl:
A proper Flite ti is 80g more. 80g! Its not like its rotating weight or anything--and this in an age where its so easy to build a super light ride, that are often lower limits set by race organizers, with some bikes even having to get weight taped on. :lol:
You can still see people using 300g Rolls in the Tour de France. ;)
Its got nothing on this bike, thats got a 142g saddle AND post. :shock: http://weightweenies.starbike.com/articles.php?ID=21
