My thinking in getting the carbon seatpost was that it might dampen some of the vibrations I've heard come with an aluminum frame. Was I foolish? I've only had steel frames before, except for my mountain bike which has fat tires and suspension forks. I'm sure I'll know a lot more after I've finished assembling it and have ridden it a few dozen times. I'll probably look back at some of the questions and concerns I've had and laugh. But this is now and that will be then.
