Been looking for one myself. Excel and CC have pulled the posts off their listings, but they are still available at other stores if you do a search. I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the reports I've seen of the head coming unglued from the post.

The seat post are in two pieces and this causes it to turn. Dura Ace are now pinning them to prevent this.

I was talking about this problem Friday in Japan.

what's shimano like for warranty on these?

i bought both on ebay (happens when you get over excited and bid on two of the exact same thing) and they both twisted around at that nasty seem... i have a box for one of them as it was NIB.

DA parts usually have a 3 year warranty from date of purchase (from an authorised retailer)
