Strengths: Weight, ease of adjustment, quality, looks, reputationWeaknesses: None noted yetBottom Line: Just picked this up and looks to be very good quality. Don't be worried about installing it. It took 5 minutes to install my Toupe saddle. It was as easy as the S-Works post it replaced (Pave Style).

Strengths: Lightweight, easy to adjustWeaknesses: If you don't have thumbs or index fingers it might be hard to mountBottom Line: I was really hesitant about buying this seatpost after reading a few reviews about how you have to have the "dexterity of a surgeon" to mount it, but I figured if I couldn't get it to work then I'd just return it so I went for it. I really don't understand how anyone could possibly take longer than 5 minutes to mount this. The side bolt design is fairly straight forward and I really love the easy tilt adjustment. I've had no problems with it moving, slipping or really doing anything other than just being a super light, super cool seatpost.

Strengths: is lightWeaknesses: it is supposed to be a seat post.Bottom Line: Pure Junk. Save your money. If you have 2 hours to spend and the dexterity of a surgeon you may be able to attach the saddle. Don't buy.

Strengths: light and attractiveWeaknesses: lack of ease in attaching the seat. Also not usable because it didn't fit into the frame.Bottom Line: The seat post didn't fit into my frame. The post is supposed to be 31.6mm but must be a bit bigger in diameter. I am told that I would have to sand the post in order for it to fit.
Since I wasn't able to put the seat post in the frame I thought that I would try to put my seat on the post just to see how easy or difficult it might be to attach the it. It was difficult. In fact I was not able to attach it. It seemed very difficult. I will return it.

Strengths: Good setback without looking ugly
lightWeaknesses: Thing don't work so far for me at all. I'll try and come back and update later.Bottom Line: Light, looks good, but won't hold tilt adjustment for me at all. I can't even get it tight enough to sit on. Triple checked the bolt and its torqued to Ritchey's spec, saddle won't slide fore/aft at all but a slap of my palm on the nose or tail of the saddle moves it with ease, no way is it usable right now.
Contacted Ritchey about it, very politely via their warranty page, don't waste your time they just point you to where you bought it. Which is fine but why have me fill in a bunch of info on the my problem when you are going to point me to the shop no matter what, that's just wasting my time.
The shop I got it from has been responsive so far, so we'll see what happens, hopefully I didn't just buy a $300 carbon fiber tire checker.
