 :shock:

The sole reason that thing exists is for parking lot bragging rights. Experienced cyclists will giggle as they mount their Turbos and Rolls.

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
