Nice bike. Does a regular seatpost go into the seat mast?
Mind if we ask what the frame cost?

I'm suing a shortened USE alien post as basicly a saddle holder. It is about 3" long and with the post, saddle and clamp it came in about 220g. I just swapped the clamp to an M2 and took another 12g off of that.
Frames start at:
Zen $3500 +custom paint and options
Uberlight $5500 +options usually no paint on these
Ouch. My plan was to take a look at Ruegamer later tonight to see if that might be a possibility in the next couple of years. I'm thinking I'll hold off with an 18month old and one on the way. Wife probably wouldn't like that too much.
Still a very sweet ride.

A friend introduced me to Brent at the selective cycles booth at interbike. He gave me a great deal. I wouldn't think of racing a nearly $4k dollar frame otherwise.

Is this a shot before you cut the seat mast?

No that is my saddle height. I had it made to 76cm from the center of the crank to the top of a slr.
@lithuania The paint and the uni directional carbon look much better in person.
The only pic I didn't include in the other thread cause it's not a good angle but the cables going into the head tube:
(srm routing temporary while I'm waiting for a new harness)

I don't think you have to cut the seatmast on this. With it taking a regular seatpost, it looks pretty adjustable. Of course to get the full effect of the ISP, you'd need to spec it for virtually no seatpost to show, meaning you'd have to cut it if you wanted it lowered.
