Lightweight & comfy-ish modern saddle

[Fatal Swan]

I'm after a saddle that's lightweight (let's say something sub-220g, for argument's sake) but built for a little comfort too. I get sit bone pain really easily and on MTBs the WTB 'V' style saddles suit me pretty well, but I'm new to the road and haven't tried that many road saddles yet. I used to have a WTB Shadow V Ni-Cro which was plenty light enough and more or less ok comfort-wise, but I no longer have it

Cheers, would appreciate recommendations even if you don't have a saddle to offer!

How about this? If this suits you we maybe could talk about a swap if you have a nice Oakley that fits me and you want to get rid of.

Let me know,

Cheers,

Don't think the yellow is really going to suit the build unfortunately but thanks for the offer (I'm also a bit short of Oakleys at the moment - unusually, for me!). I also tried a classic Flite Ti on my MTB for a while and didn't get on with it that well comfort-wise.

The Charge knife is pretty high on my list of saddles to try - £25 for a new one certainly seems worth a punt though they only have it in brown!

My san marco ponza power saddle seems pretty comfortable, and at fifteen quid quite cheap and cheerful. Not as light as you wanted though .....
