For the love of god, please get a cheap alloy post while you're waiting for your Thomson so we don't have to hear horror stories about you getting carbon shards surgically removed from your perineum!
Actually, this raises the possibility that your Cervelo post is just plain broken!

For my money, the Elite is adequate.

What setback do you need? If your old one has no setback, get a standard straight Thomson. If it has the usual 15 mm setback, get a setback Thomson. Also get the Thomson in at least the same length as your old post.

Setback Thomsons are harder to find.
