I have 2 of those Lite Pro seat posts on 2 Dahon Boardwalks and have found them to be excellant. They adjust the seat tilt angle easier than any seat post I have ever used before. You can get the angle precise not close so it is very comfortable. Mine are used with Brooks seats. A Swift and a modified B 17. If you want I can do some pictures. Roger

it has to appeal to many ...

Nice bike, quick question - is your litepro seatpost an aluminium one as seen on various ebay pages (very reasonably priced)? How are you finding it? Looking to change my biologic pump/seatpost combo as I feel it's too heavy

The LitePro seatpost that I used in these photos came with the Crius bike I bought, so I don't know the price. I've just ordered a replacement one from eBay that cost $23US/$30CAN. If when I receive it, it is any different than the original, I'll let you know.

The seatpost feels like it has a slight bit more flex in it than the original Dahon seatpost/pump. One nice thing is that it came with a plastic shim which prevents slippage and also prevents the seatpost from getting scratches.

I have to say that the adjustment took a bit of getting used to since tightening the seat onto the post can cause the angle to change. I quite like the way it attaches now. I've got a B17 special paired with my LitePro seatposts which looks really sharp.

It seems that is the one I'm interested in, varies between £15 - £30 here on ebay, all look the same, hope they're genuine

Mine were from EBay. I found the easiest way to adjust is to start with the seat tight. Then ride the bike. If the nose needs to go down loosen the back bolt half a turn and tighten the front bolt half a turn. If it needs to go up loosen the front bolt half a turn and the tighten the rear bolt. Take it for another ride and adjust as necessary. It may take a few rides to get it where you want but it is time well spent. Roger

Surprised that it only lost half a pound. Looks great
the weight and 3 spd make this a pretty laid back (pokey) bike, but cush with the Big Apples
where the skinny tired brommie is quicker , but harsh.
8 speed would open it up, as they got with the sport model Curve

Thanks. I have to say with 100 gear inches, and if I pump the Big Apples up to 70 PSI (the max) then it is pretty dam quick.
