I take it thats a Cro Mo rail version
Not all that cheap then
Manganese version.Is that a 'bad' weight then?
Cant remember what mine is.
k'ium (or whatever they're called) railed Gobi is about 220gm
I'm a big fan of Gobi's, but I've found the K-ium railed version to be far comfier than the Manganese version.
Fizik website reckons 255g for the Manganese and 229g for the K-ium, so nowt in it really.
I'm not a weight weenie just surprised how much an expensive saddle can weigh. My cromo railed OE WTB and and San Marco are ~300g, manganese versions are 250 and Ti less than 200 (and not expensive compared to Fiziks).
Main thing is its comfy for you, obviously.
I've bought a couple of those, they're nowhere near 380g
I have just weighed mine, bought from Merlin last year. 267g on my digi scales
The much comfier, slightly lighter Kium version is also on there for 60 bucks.
Just got one as my old one is held together with duct tape.
