[ibbz]

Have this all carbon saddle
It weights next to nothing
62g apparently

How much is this worth ?

Does it need a specific post? Looks like the rails are moulded into the carbon, but you'd want gentle corners on the post clamp to avoid ripping.

It can fit on to any post

I've sold superlightweight carbon saddles for £100, but you often need good brand recognition to get a buyer at that price.
£60 would possibly work.

The lightweight brigade spend good money, but like branding as much as any.

They’re very expensive new - about €275
But can’t find this anywhere on RB nor on eBay - neither under sold / completed listings for used prices.
So very rare
I might just put it on my Scapin to match the WR seat post
But would consider selling or trading
Hence a ballpark figure would be welcome

WR Compositi stuff is exquisite - but very much Italian and lesser known outside the racing world and elsewhere

 

[bikeworkshop]

A lot of European quality stuff has to compete with Chinese lookalikes at a fraction of the price - like £30! - and the advertised weights aren't always representative!
This is why popular quality brands hold value better than lesser known ones.

Not seen one of those before. I like the shape and no rails to snap.

The market is somebody doing a full WR Compositi build, to get proper money for it, as anyone else looking for a light carbon saddle, like a hillclimber for example, will just go to ebay/aliexpress and get one for less than £30, as mentioned above. I have seen the no-name charbon saddles around the 90g mark sell for as little as a tenner in used condition. Hillclimbers don't sit on them much anyway and drill holes in them to get 100g saddles down in weight.

as it is so rare i think you should hold on to it until the right buyer turns up, or you do another build it is suited for.

Thanks man you’re quite right
I doubt there are many full high end carbon builds but I’ve seen one or two with WR hubs etc to get weight down.
Because of the rarity and because it matches the seatpost and bars I’ll keep it
