I picked up a used Easton EC90 full carbon seatpost for $34 that weighs about 185 grams, so the Campy doesn't seem unreasonable. Also, other posts like the Fizik Cyrano weigh about the same http://www.universalcycles.com/shopp...s.php?id=34360, so I don't see where you can assert that other posts are significantly lighter. Anyways, the Campy looks nice and that is not an unreasonable price IMO.
