I have a Charge Spoon with CroMo rails that will be replacing a Boardman saddle with Ti rails.

Would it be a relatively straightforward job to swop the Ti rails onto the Spoon (assuming they're the same length/shape/thickness)?

This isn't a performance/weight driven change, it's purely because I like to idea of have a bit of Ti on my bike 8) 😳

doubtful that they'd fit, but they might. getting them in will be the problem. i pulled a rail out the back of my Ti sdg once in a crash. took the big vice at work, the big molgrips, and the biggest screwdriver i could find to get it back in. and i still can't tell the difference between it and the cro-mo railed ones i have.

No. You'll just break 2 saddles.
