I'll confess my stupidity. I replaced a D/A seatpost with an FSA carbon seat post. I was putting a whole new group on the frame, and got caught up in the moment (hey what's another $150 when you're throwing down $2000). Turns out when you actually weigh the 2 seat posts (not manufacturer's spec's) the FSA is 5 grams lighter. I can't tell any difference in ride quality, and the final insult is that the FSA has too much set back for me, and I can't get the seat where I had it (and liked) with the D/A post.
The real sad part is that either I'm too much of a poser (the new seat post looks nice) or too unwilling to admit I threw away $150, to put the D/A post back.
Oh, and by the way, I've got my eye on some Zero gravity brakes....
