i received some stuff from starbike today related to the WW competition and I wanted to get on here and express my thanks to the forum, starbike and everyone else who supported it. i came way down the list and the prizes were really generous. best of all i got an ax lightness saddle (leaf plus) and it fits!! well i've ridden once on it for an hour and it was totally fine. we'll see but it is looking good. for a weight saving of 102 g!!!!!

so thank you starbike, thanks to the forum. some might say it is gratuitous but i'd say it is essential, i post below a photo of the bike which bears the saddle.

weight is 6.49 kg. not bad for a relatively heavy frame, 25 mm tyres, power meter, strong stiff stem and a 32 tooth cassette. :D

also wanted to add some photos of the saddle close up. unfortunately looks like some of the customisation is rubbing off. oh well, all the better that i have preserved it photographically.

great saddle.

It definitely looks better without any stickers.

Nice saddle and bike.

OT: You're running a 32T on Campagnolo?

SRAM XG-1190 11-32 cassette - works awesome. just don't run it big big because you'll probably weaken the RD and end up with it in your spokes.

Having the logo's rubbing off just means you are using the product and loving it. Looks great on the nago...
