Any advice on a decent but relatively light saddle that doesn't cost an arm and a leg...?

Depends what you call lightweight and what you call an arm and a leg!
Most 'reasonable' OE saddles are around 400g, a Charge Spoon Cro-mo is just under 300g and can be had for just over £20, to get much lighter you are talking Titanium rails which will drop weight to about 200g and cost you north of £50, then you have the ultralight unpadded saddle etc which can drop you under 100g but are very much a matter of taste, like the Tune Speedneedle.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0 -
Bought two of these, dirt cheap and they weigh about 240g. http://www.ribblecycles.co.uk/sp/road-t ... snasadd200 May not be the comfiest saddle you'll ever use though, but that's all subjective.0
