Thanks.
The post is a bit tough to raise and lower due to the in-frame retaining bolt. The bolt can be loosened but getting the wedge, which it secured, to budge is a PITA. One of the seat rail retaining bits broke and is not available, unless you buy the entire seat post assembly for $300, which happens to be not available. So I kluged a piece and it has held for 8,000 miles. Would not buy another bike with these pieces.
