Just purchased a saddle taht is advetised everywhere at 258g. It weighs in at 20%+ more than this at 312g

Some small print states "specs are subject to change without notice" so thats all right then.....

my arse weighs tons after a winter of sofa-ing, so a bit of saddle weight is the least of my worries

If you were worried about weight then why would you buy a saddle that weighs 250g anyway. Saddle on my road bike weighs 76g - now that's light.
