I already have a gold Nitto bar/stem setup and recently ordered an S65 "Crystal Fellow" seatpost also in gold.

After receiving the post, the gold on the seat post is definitely lighter and doesn't have that same deep/rich gold as the B123/Jaguar stem. It looks a bit cheap next to other Nitto gold parts.

Figured if I'm spending almost a $100 on a seatpost from the same company in the same color, it should at least match. My Nitto stem/handlebars are this awesome deep gold color and they match perfectly.

Is this the same with all of the Nitto seatposts? Anyone with a SP72 Jaguar seatpost in gold?

One possibility is that the shop that sold me the seatpost is having the anodizing done by a separate company and it's not an official Nitto color for that model.

I'm fine if all Nitto seatposts are the same shade....maybe it's just a different anodizing process for specific parts.
