Google has failed me on this, but I'm certain I've seen some nice saddles with dirty bronze/gold rails before. Current saddle is a San Marco Aspide Xsilite. LIke this, but all black instead. http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/sell ... lsrc=aw.ds

Want something similar or a touch lighter but with the bronze/gold rail colour. Any ideas?

Failing that, maybe just go for a carbon railed effort. Like the Aspide Carbon FX. Are carbon rails harsh in your experience?

Fizik's Chameleon line (aka Antares) will be the most similar (but not 100% comparable) to your Aspide.

Nice thanks, was wondering about that. Like the Aspide (Open), just felt right straight away... though I have the narrow version and I'd probably get the wide if buying again. Got narrow as it was on sale super cheap at the time :x

Are you above simply painting the rails on the saddle of your choice? That way you could have the color you want but not be limited in your saddle shape/weight choice.

No experience doing it.. but hadn't considered it. Nice thinking actually, maybe that'd be better and cheaper. Weigh less than the Fizik saddle which is an extra 40g to my current! Gonna google some solutions..
