I'm pretty sure SLG was an alloy-rail model. Are the rails attractive, from a magnet's point of view?
I have ridden many miles and years on an alloy-rail Turbo - any letters painted on wore off long ago - but I think it said SLG, and probably was a badger model too. And I am a big boy. But your mileage may vary - plenty of other people have reported breaking alloy rails, including my petite wife who has broken two alloy rails (on two different saddles of course). Certainly the steel-rail version is a hundred times more reliable (give or take), and not much heavier.
