I ordered this saddle in 155: http://www.specialized.com/us/en/ftb/sa ... evo-expert It was specced for 212g. I just got it in and weighed it at 264g. I could see maybe +- 10, even 20g but 52g?

The Expert Gel does not say "Expert" on the saddle though from all the literature and real life pictures I have seen. Also where it says TI Hollow on the rail, it is black, mine is red there.

Mine is also black on the underbody, unlike this one, which is red. Mine looks EXACTLY like this one (black version) http://www.specialized.com/us/en/ftb/sa ... evo-expert
