Not bad for a regular seat+post!! But still quite heavy compared to my stripped one piece seat combo weighs 180g for seat+post. I recommend getting one of those if you want to save a lot of weight on your bike

and they're cheap too

I am getting a combo, this is just the only post that will fit in my new frame haha.

or just take a big poo before you ride...that'll weigh more than cutting 50g worth of post ;P

That won't make your bike lighter yo

lol im currently cusomizing my old skylite (older model than this) shaved and smoothed the sides. probably the cleanest looking saddle ever.

Nice. But was yours free ninety free?

willy94 (Jan 25, 2011 at 22:03)

yep, came with a post too... just put it on the scale 111g

joostflux (Jan 25, 2011 at 22:05)

Not bad.

willy94 (Jan 25, 2011 at 22:10)

joostflux (Jan 26, 2011 at 7:25)

As crazily light as that is, it is visually appalling. At least throw a cover on, if not any padding.

joostflux (Jan 25, 2011 at 20:08)

Haha I agree. I may cover it this weekend while I'm painting the frame.

Cut the post and it will be alot less.

joostflux (Jan 24, 2011 at 22:20)

Can't cut it too much or it won't fit in a certain frame.

alexhoss (Jan 24, 2011 at 22:52)

What frame?

joostflux (Jan 25, 2011 at 7:19)

Secret.
