I just checked an Ideale 2000, the naked version. It was ~320 grams w/o the lovely Ideale mounting clamp, which is ~180 gm by itself. But, unlike the Brooks, it works pretty well.

Don,
My personal choice of compromise for a reasonably lightweight yet comfortable saddle suitable for racing use circa mid 1970's through early 1980's was the 3ttt #30 Superleggero with alloy rails that tipped the scales at 290 grams officially (...although it could sometimes be found weighing a tad less if your LBS was willing to let you individually weigh their various stock on hand - for me, it helped to have worked part time there during the summer months). Basically, this saddle is lightly padded and remarkably similar to a Cinelli Unicanitor in its profile. So, if the Cinelli works well for you and you are not too heavy yourself (...one of my riding buddys back in the day was 6' 6" and 210 pounds and he rode the heck out of one of these alloy railed saddles without incident), then the 3ttt is likely to suit you as well.
By the way, if anyone out there happens to be sitting on (...yes, pun intended) one of these very same 3ttt Superleggero saddles in REAL nice used, or better yet NOS, condition, PLEASE contact me directly and off list as I would LOVE to find one in better shape than that which I have on hand so that I may use it in conjunction with my never ending Gitane TdF retro-racer restoration project.
