Not to be critical--do what you want with your money--but I CAN'T relate anymore. Like everybody else, I imagine, I went through about 10 years of being equipment-crazed. I spent thousands of dollars (at least) on shiny new stuff, and almost none of it made any difference. A change is not necessarily an "upgrade," it's just a change. Figure out what you need to do what you want to do, then buy that. You'll be happier in the long run.
As for the groovy seat post... Seriously? I have five bikes in my garage, and I couldn't tell you what any of the seat posts look like.
