The Ti retainers are nice, but the steel retainers for Beehive springs are very small and much lighter than the steel retainer for a conventional spring. The steel retainer for a Beehive spring, I would say, is pretty close to the same weight as a Ti retainer for a conventional spring.

Also, I failed to mention that the Beehive spring setup was about 10 lbs. less on the seat, and IIRC, about 350 over the nose.
