Depends what style of seat you're looking for really.

I use an old school Elina Lightning Bolt seat on my bike but plan to get a Tioga Spyder when the Elina dies or I get bored of it.

If your bike has a 25.4 seat post, then the pivotal seat & post combos are pretty good.  If not, then a mountain bike seat will be lighter than most BMX seats.  Lot's of choices out there for one of the least important parts of the bike.

No worries.  One bit of advice is get a leather/plastic seat as they're better in the wet.  Those cloth ones just soak up the rain and make your bum wet when you sit down.

Yeah, that's the one I will probably get eventually.  It's not to everyone's taste (and quite expensive for what it is - basically a bit of plastic with holes in it), but will look good on my bike with a Thomson seat post  :daumenhoch:

If you ride a low seat, try these http://www.winstanleysbmx.com/product/18399/Eclat_Complex_Seat_and_Seatpost

If you have a few quid, USE carbon post with Tioga spider seat as mentioned by Mike  :daumenhoch:

SDG I-beam seat and post are the business I think?

I run SDG seats (with an X-lite post  on my 20") (Raceface Diabolous on my 24") but my new build will probably run SDG with Thomson Post

 :) DINGO :)

Those Eclat Webster seats are about £20 (including the clear) at Winstanleys.

I've seen these before  :daumenhoch:

did'nt know you could get a clear one,

you can also buy one that comes with a black cover,

but clear is a great idea goes with anything.

Yeah, those Eclat seats look good (and great price).  But I think the Tioga Spyder would suit my race bike better (and it's a whopping 35g lighter  :LolLolLolLol: ).

Just asked in my LBS, ECLAT's first shipment comes in early October, not 2-7 days like winstanleys say.
The plastic one with built in post is supposed to be lighter?
