i could be totally wrong but seatposts seem to be one of the more forgiving components in terms of quality.....meaning, getting a cheapo seatpost isn't as detrimental as getting a cheapo saddle or cheapo peddles or cheapo bottom bracket....same with headsets. once again i could be totally wrong.
i still rock a used miche supertype on my "pretty looking fixed gear street" bike lol....
does that make me a superficial jerk if i were to say i bought it for mostly the looks?

(haha no need to answer that)
true, seatposts are generally more forgiving. but i've seen a few cracked supertypes and lets just say that's probably the last place i'd want a cracked, jagged piece of metal on a bike.
