Ah - I think I found my answer.
The saddle I had in mind was from M2Racer. Strange company. Really light and it looks quiet narrow.
They also seem to sell this unique pedal called the Orb. Will def check that out, too.

In reference to the pedal....I've heard that they really aren't meant for a lot of riding. I dn't think they are up to the task....strength wise. I guess there's only one way to find out.......

Hmm.
They seem to have about the lowest weight limit I've seen - 180 lbs.
I have never much thought about the 'platform' nature of pedals because I figure the carbon soles in the nike tri shoes I've got make it irrelevant.
In my mind, they seem to make the most sense. Right now I ride with Ultegra SPD-SLs.
Hey,
Bontrager has a 90 day policy on returning saddles for fit, so I said what the hell and grabbed their Race XXX Lite Carbon.

I really like it. A few other people were a little surprised to see such a thing - no cushioning at all - but I've had it on several decent length rides and some short, very hard rides and it's perfectly comfortable.
One thing I dislike about it - and this is really something common to all saddles I've used - is that the nose is wider than I would prefer because I have some monster quads/hammies.
I remember seeing something in a magazine somewhere - an advert for an even narrower carbon saddle. Anyone have any knowledge on this one?
