    I was hoping to get something that weighed less than 150g thinking that more than that wouldn't really be worth paying more for the weigh savings.

    I do laugh at myself sometimes for my constant consideration (obsession) of how to lighten my bike.

    So maybe the criteria should be a dollar per gram (of weight decrease) ?

    You might look at the Selle Italia SLR, if you haven't:

    A nice-looking saddle (I think anyway), 135 grams, and I think it's pretty comfortable (I've never ridden it for any great distance, but I have ridden it on bikes that I've test-ridden, and I liked it).

    Also, I think the Selle San Marco Aspide Composite is super sexy:

    and only 100 grams. But I'm not sure I'd ever be hard-core enough to ride a carbon saddle with no padding or covering at all...

    Think about it... your bike, losing 225 grams... that's half a pound! I think this saddle is in your future . (Tell Mr. it's much cheaper than lighter wheels). (Which, of couse, you will need next).
