Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

If you're the only person involved, no problem, do what you like. If you have a spouse/significant other that is going to complain, just say, "But they didn't MATCH!" and no woman would argue with that logic. The weight doesn't matter.

She didn't say a word when I bought the Harley, so I don't think a seatpost is going to upset her. Besides, she bought me a bike without telling me first.
