while searching the net for a titanium seat post I came across a Van Nicholas Titanium Seat Post with 15mm Setback. Has anyone used this seat post as I have never seen one here in Japan. From looking at them on the net they look very well built and well priced compared to other companies post.

Thanks.

Looks similar to the Moots post. You might as well go for the Moots.

HAMMER MAN

aka: "The Sweetpost"


Around the shop, we call it “The Sweetpost”. Kent has designed a simple, elegant and strong seatpost using the superior strength of titanium, all while keeping it light (sub 160 g at 225 mm). Simple hardware, clean lines and your choice of colors makes this post an easy addition to any frame. The best part about it is the side access hardware, blood never goes to your head trying to change or adjust a saddle.



Ordering and installing the “Sweetpost”

Ordering

To determine the length seatpost you will need, measure from your seatclamp (where your seatpost enters your frame) to the rails of your current saddle and add 7cm (7cm is our minimum insertion line). If you are close we recommend going up one size.

All posts, 27.2 and 30.9 diameters come in the following lengths:225, 250, 275, 300, 360 and 400 mm.

Posts can be ordered either straight or layback (27.2 = 20 mm actual layback, 30.9 = 14 mm actual layback)

Seatpost hardware colors: Red, blue, green, pewter/ti, black, orange, brown, and pink.

Custom layback and/or length and scotch brite (shiny polished look) posts can be made for an additional $25. WE WILL NOT WARRANTY POSTS LONGER THAN 400 mm or OVER 20 mm OF LAYBACK.

All seatposts are made to order and typically ship within 1-5 days of order placement.




Saddle Requirements
Our seatpost hardware fits traditional, round style, 7 mm diameter saddle rails. This accommodates about 90% of the saddles on the market. Please note, some rails are tighter to mount into the hardware than others.

Our seatpost hardware does not fit oversized, non-round rails or carbon rails

Mounting the saddle on the seat post: Slide the seat into the hardware from the rear, not over the top. Tighten the bolt, ensuring the threads are lined up. Torque meter recommendation is 12-15 Newton meters and/or 8-11 foot pounds.

Seatpost weights in general, fully assembled are as follows (layback and straight) 225=162 g 250=174g 275=184 g 300= 194 g 360=217 400=233g

Please call us if you have any questions or problems with your seatpost.
