Old Campy seat post on my Maddy

I switched the seat post that came on my Maddy for this Campy seat post I bought at the LBSs "Bike Swap" Im sure someone will think it doesnt deserve its own post but seriously, ask me if I give a **** what you think

Oh, and just for the sake of comfort, you probably would get more power and a better riding position if you took a couple of those spacers out from under your stem. Again, this is just personal experience and may not be best for everyone (since people are so eager around her to jump down others throats, i just wanted to have a disclaimer in my post

Flatter back = less frontal area = less drag = faster. Speaking non-sarcastically here, that's a pretty non-extreme bar drop there he's got in the first pic anyways. Practically none.
