What's your saddlepost of choice?
Just curious, I'm riding on a Thomson Elite. What about you guys?
|
Cinelli Bianca Vai 31.6
I usually ride carbon for the bounce but there is not a lot of post sticking out on my current bike. |
the cheapest thing at the bike shop
|
Kalin cause the SE designers decided to take the short bus the day they designed my Lager. 26.2. Yeah thats useful.
If I had my choice it'd be a Supertype. |
Thomson Elite.

Riding the Velo Orange seatpost but I dont like it so much.
I think I am going to buy a straight Thomson Elite |
miche supertype cuz its purty :D
|
On my conversion I run a BMW QBUT53x Quad butted unobtanium post with carbon nanotube internal dampening.
|
Deda ZERO100, Nitto 686, and 2 Kalloy cheapies...
|
Miche supertype
|
Velo Orange Grand Cru on both bikes. My wife's got a Nitto 626 on her Leader and I like that a lot too.
|
stock steel seatpost
|
I've got the Nitto Jaguar seatpost. It's money. I'm hoping to get a Thompson for the murdered out Super Pista that I hope to get soon.
|
also have the velo orange seatpost. that isnt bad either.
i could be totally wrong but seatposts seem to be one of the more forgiving components in terms of quality.....meaning, getting a cheapo seatpost isn't as detrimental as getting a cheapo saddle or cheapo peddles or cheapo bottom bracket....same with headsets. once again i could be totally wrong. i still rock a used miche supertype on my "pretty looking fixed gear street" bike lol.... does that make me a superficial jerk if i were to say i bought it for mostly the looks? :D (haha no need to answer that) |
There is a Thompson on three of my bikes, but a carbon FSA on the Tarmac that I find is quite comfy and super light, and the stock Tarmac carbon post is on the 'Dale.
|
have a thomson elite setback. it's really light, but i don't really care, and i need something with more setback so i'm looking at the grand cru.
I also want a wound up seatpost something bad, so pissed i missed one on ebay that sold for like 40 dollars (btw if the guy that bought that sees this, i'll pay you some extra for it :D) |
