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

I have an Easton EA90 which works - as in it holds the saddle, no slippage - what more do I need for a seatpost?

The seat adjustment was a pain because there are two hex bolts and a cam but I only had to think about that once or twice during the initial set up and nothing has slipped since.

Yes, no problems. Like rollin said it holds the saddle, no slippage.

3Ts Doric is good. I have a team one that is now gathering dust because it does not go with my new bike (have a Thomson Masterpiece coming...). I would let it go really cheap. It's a 27.2mm and 280mm long but there is a rub mark in the finish where it slipped one time between the 3 and 4 cm marks. It was a secure seatpost and really easy to adjust. I was just a dumbass and didn't tighten it enough.

thanks for the offer but i need the bigger 31.6 for my paris carbon. the bike came with a nice set back carbon post but i cant get my gell flow flight forward enough on that post. i rode it like that for a few rides but my right knee is starting to act up so i think i need to get that seat forward.
