As part of the continued bargain bike challenge, I picked up a new saddle on ebay for a third of RRP. So here's a gratuitous before and after.
Before: Giant Performance Road saddle (OEM)
After: Selle Italia SLR Kit Carbonio Flow saddle with carbon rails
As you can see, according to the Kitchen Scales of InaccuracyTM, swapping out my saddle has saved me 209g - a weight reduction equal to very nearly five KitKats. And okay, I've yet to complete a long ride on the new saddle, but a very unscientific test (poking with my thumbs) suggests it is better padded than the saddle I did LEJOG on, so fingers crossed.
