Bloody nice bikes mate, too lightly built for me but would be awesome for a lighter rider , a bit of part swapping between them :) i think id rather take my chances on a bare seatpost than go near that speedneedle :thumbsup:
Wow, the silver Air caught my eye:thumbsup:
Those AX lightness saddles crack me up, nice rides though.
Those are Tune Speed Needles, if I'm not mistaken.

Why Britney, I think you're right. Still a sub 90g saddle on a mountain bike (or any bike for that matter) is funny stuff.

This seddle is speedneedle and is 3 years old... i am 76kg and i am a xc racer...speedneedle is fantastic and super strong, 110 kg waight limit....
your bikes are fantastic.
i'm waiting mine for your treatments:drumroll:
Marcopelle75,

I've been looking at a couple of those frames for my next 29er. Would love to hear your thoughts on how they compare. Any favorites?

Thanks.

My favourite is Skincarbon but i project it and i build it like i wanted!!! look rear wheels distance to vertical tube....race machine and tube angle....in second place my Parago, stiffer, strong, super stability, for me better race machine, with titanium seatpost is confortable too....Lynskey is new i ride only one time but my firt sensation is very very great, i am waiting good wheather for several test, on snow is impossible arrive to bike limit.....
Marco, I thought I needed a doctor. But I suppose for every sick person in the world there is someone sicker. I would love to ride every one of those bikes.
it is a bit counter intuitive, but light saddles are better on mtbs than road bikes. I have ridden on a speedneedle off road, and it is fine, but then I put it on a road bike and it just about ripped me a new one. I think it has something to do with how much you move about and are up and out of the saddle on a mountain bike.

What about the alloy ones? Look like a Mavic Reflex or an Ambrosio Nemesis... but can't really tell.
