185g is close to being the lightest with alloy rails, + cutout.
Also depending on the version, 131mm is abougt as narrow as they get at the back?
Arione Donnas are 147 at widest point, so quite a bit wider, so maybe its more the shape rather than the width? You can get an Arione Donna with Ti rails that weigh 185g, same as the SLR lady flow.Its not light, but wifey adores the Selle Italia Diva flow, not light at 255g but the most comfortable saddle she's used.
Specialized Power Expert with Mimic might be worth a go, short nose saddle, anchors you in position, gets out the way when out the saddle and 200g.

Hi all - having saddle thoughts.
I'm building my main bike to be a superlight and stiff hill climbing fixie.
Saddle, I previously had the Fizik Arone Donna with carbon rails - love the shape (Specialised were always too wide and big for me at the back), hated the rails - I am somewhat ham handed and always crack carbon.... sigh. Now I have a Selle Italia SLR Lady Flow Saddle - it's pretty good but the back is slightly wide and it's not super light but wanted to see if any of you lovely lot knew of any others I should try? Either womens or mens that work for women although had a terrible time once on my partner's Fizik Antares and can't get it out of my head now that it was because it as for men.
Ideally; lightweight, non carbon and narrow.
