|   Saddles...for the road | Alan
Jan 19, 2002 7:34 PM | | I have been riding a Flite Ti saddle in the woods for years...time to furnish the road bike with a saddle....Any suggestions to a saddle that will combine light weight with comfort? I am boney....weighing in at 142lbs and 5'10"..no meat on dem bones.... |

If you want some comfort, get another Flite Ti.
Just my two cents

| try the Flite TT if you like the regular Flite (more) | IAmtnbikr

I use a Flite FKS (all Kevlar cover, actual weight of 222 grams) on the MTB, and the TT on the roadbike. It has a suede leather cover, and tubular ti rails, and weight around 165 grams. A decent blend of weight and comfort if you like the Flite shaped saddles. If you can of course, try to ride each one you want to consider purchasing. |
