So the other night I came across an ebay auction for a Campagnolo seat post. I thought it was the most beautiful thing ever & had to have it. I ended up getting out-bid in the last seconds, but the next day I got a second chance offer & bought it for $130. Trouble is, I did no research in the item & now that I have it I can find no information about it on the web. Its full carbon with a machined aluminum clamp, weighs about 180 grams & the logo's seem to be screen printed. If anybody know's anything about this item pleas let me know.

I cant really help, but damn sleek.

i dont like the big side labels.

yea, should be bigger

They're alright. I do like the one on the front, though.

You should try the roadie forum. There are people there who live and breath campy.

The post looks sweet; how many grams does it weigh?

180gram is ~20grams heavier than some of the brands the roadies swear on, Thomson Masterpiece, KCNC, Fizik Cyrano etc etc.

My 3t doric says I swear on 150g..

I picked up a used Easton EC90 full carbon seatpost for $34 that weighs about 185 grams, so the Campy doesn't seem unreasonable. Also, other posts like the Fizik Cyrano weigh about the same https://www.universalcycles.com/shopp...s.php?id=34360, so I don't see where you can assert that other posts are significantly lighter. Anyways, the Campy looks nice and that is not an unreasonable price IMO.

I like my carbon FSA post. Don't buy things because of names stenciled to them.

Unless that name implies something about the quality, functionality, or history of the product.

it doesn't look like any campy post i've ever seen, and i am a bit of a campy-phile. often, campy hardware is also 'logoed'. do any of the bolt heads or clamp components have campy identified on them? look inside the end of the tube as well...s/n label perhaps?

if so, likely genuine. if not, could still be genuine...but i'd need some evidence.

well obviously, but if I put a campy sticker on a pile of poo does it make it worth money?

can we see the whole bike?[=

I like the dichotomy of putting a [very expensive] ultra light weight seat post on your bike then topping it with a [very heavy] brooks saddle.

It is a nice looking post though.

Would it be better to use a heavy post with a heavy saddle?

Perhaps it's the Brooks with titanium rails?

180g isnt bad with setback. who cares when you could cut 400g with a different saddle? if its titanium, you could still cut 250.

Yea, campy grease.

K, not gonna quote every question. The post has no logos other than the screened ones, I'm kind of doubting its the genuine article. I'll post a whole bike pic soon in the "post yer bike" thread. I didn't get the post for its effect on the total weight of the bike, just really liked the look of it. Brooks is great but I just ordered a Selle An-atomica (my girl stole my other one for her bike). Ummmm, thanks everyone for piping in, I think I'll just ride it & not worry about authenticity, it totally holds the saddle on.
