I have been using a Velo Orange model 6 leather saddle at 540 grams but I like those saddles so much I have five of them. Pretty much ride for exercise so what difference does a pound make unless it is off the tires. Perhaps I'm just used to bikes around that weight, but the Nano doesn't feel sluggish to me.

I love my bullhorns when I am rolling between traffic but when I am off, I got for drop bars. It calms me down!
i am 60 yrs old but very flex from daily traffic combat. The first pic felt completely comfortable but realistically I do not want that set up on a leisure bike.

Seems our Gov’nor is shutting us down Monday so I will have plenty of time to work on the Mercier.
