By the way, you went with the 3rd party seatpost because...? Or "just because."
P.S. level out ye olde saddle.
This thread is about making a Swift lighter, so that is why I'm using a different one. The new combination lops off several 100g off the original config. It all adds up. I think I will quite easily come in under 10kg when I'm done.
I have sent a mail to Peter Reich about this, and am making the calclations to work out the shear force and seeing if the alloy is in spec by a good margin. These calcs I will post here too for criticism.
The saddle is indeed looking a bit uppity. Will have to fix that before the next photo session.
