Dolan Seta - From Lightweight to Carbon Slave

That's excellent- my K:1 and Dorico Ltd are heavier:

That's your porky saddle :)

I think Eingang is making some very good choices in terms of the cost/weight balance.

My "porky" saddle, if I'd bought it new, would have been £330, the post (which I did buy new) is £160 RRP- that's £490 to be 30g heavier than Eingang's combination.

lol .. saddle's are not a WW choice in my opinion, it's what fits the bum and if a light one fits then all the better!

i paid 165euros (130gbp) for saddle+seat post

That's me told.

does anyone know the weight of the 48t omnium chainring?

-> found 48g. right?

I dunno you can usually find a decent all carbon copy of you're favourate shape. The more refined of which will have a decent flex pattern designed into the carbon lay up.

So as long as you dont usually go for highly padded saddles its resonable. I've seen some nice carbon SLR copies around. But my SLR is yellow.

Colour is of course the first factor in choosing a saddle.

Carbon is the only colour a saddle should be.

As one cannot try out saddles, chosing them based on colour or look is perfectly acceptable.

you can try out saddles. Plenty of shops have ones they lend out for a deposit

wat

next change will be the pedals.

currently: shimano xtr, 310g
future: ritchey pro v5, 260g

final change of the seat post clamp. left: dolan / right: tune schraubwürger

new pedals. left: shimano xtr / right: ritchey pro paradigm

Those pedals look like the axles are a lot longer, pushing your feet outward, or is it an optical illusion?

optical illusion (same length)

new stem. left: kcnc sc wing (labelled as 110g, box labelled as 109g) / middle: syntace f99 / right: syntace f99 (with titan screws)

now all smaller parts are changed.

possible open changes: full carbon fork and wheels

Crap... I better hurry and build my bike!!!

Forks on the way for me:-)
