Price Paid:  $225.00

Favorite Ride:
something hilly and sunny

Bike Setup:
Pennarola high end, sram force, deda newton equip. and easton tempest wheels.

Summary:
Okay seatpost, but at that price, many other brands do just as fine. I find it rather heavy, it's Bontrager's xxx-lite, and my post weighs 229 grams. That is not extra-extra-extra-lite IMHO.
Good solid feel to it, easy, no, very easy adjustment, I have had nothing but good experiences with this post.
Too much red decals for the post to fit anything else but redish colours on bike.

Strengths:
easy adjustment
full carbon

Weaknesses:
Colours not neutral enough, makes the post stand out in an unaesthetic manner
Too pricey

Price Paid:  $0.00

Favorite Ride:
Jamestown/Ward in Boulder

Bike Setup:
2006 Tete de Course, Dura Ace, Carbones

Summary:
This post came witha Tete de Course I bought on Ebay. Both the frame and post were in great shape and showed little use. It slips like crazy and can't be tightened. I was riding with out hands and leaned back while drinking from a bottle. The post slipped back and I almost slid onto my read wheel.

I have also seen this post do this in a MTB race. NOT RECOMMENDED!!

Strengths:
carbon looks cool. easy to adjust and load seat

Weaknesses:
will not tighten.
very dangerous.
