I'm doing a saddle swap and don't have one of those handy digital scales, but realized that I did have a scale purchased in England several years back.

The Selle Italia Flite Ti currently on my bike measured at 8 3/8 oz, which converts to 237g. Per http://weightweenies.starbike.com/listings/components.php?type=saddles, a 2004 Flite Ti should be about 235g.

The Koobi PRS that I'm trying is claimed at 298g. My scale reads 10.5 oz or 298g!!

Who needs digital? :D

Once I've done an A/B ride comparison, I'll post my thoughts.

Wasn't sure if I should post this under the Weight or the Retro thread.

Cool scale.

Guess those weights aren't NIST traceable, since you got them in England :)

Your scale is better then a digital IMO. Digital scales (most) use springs and do not stay calibrated long. Posted weights are mostly lighter then real weights, I would trust your scale. I have bike weights very as much as two pound using LBS spring scales.
