Must Try Harder
- Location
- Fife, Scotland
Decided to sell this as I just feel it doesn't look right on my bike due to me having it set low (short legs!!!) See a pic of it on my EPS in at http://www.starperformance.co.uk/Colnago/EPS_KF_2.jpg - the bright white of the seat post not being fully visible and the not-so-white saddle! Have replaced it with and all carbon one that is plainer so looks better and more integrated with the carbon seat tube of the frame.
The Product Info:
High Modulus Carbon Fibre material gives a secure and durable seatpost that is designed to offer more comfort than traditional Carbon Composite posts. The saddle head has a thumb-wheel set up system for precise saddle alignment, and will take saddle rails from traditional 7mm up to 12mm ovalised. The lower saddle rail cradle offers plenty of support whilst being of a set-back design to allow for maximum fore and aft adjustment.
The Good:
It's a gorgeous hand-painted white/carbon genuine Colnago carbon seatpost - normal cost is £179.
Weighs 215g on my kitchen scales (quoted weight is 216g)
Used only 150 dry miles (3 rides) as I just built the bike late last year and have used my winter bike since October.
Comes complete with box
Fits various frames - including Ibex/CLX/EPS/C59 maybe also M10/EPQ - buyer to check to ensure
The 'Bad':
Nothing actually bad.
The worsed part is that the front adjusting screw is slightly rounded but is fine when adjusting with a ring spanner (8mm) - see pic 3.
Also as it has been installed in the frame there are some hardly visible scratches on the shaft - can only be seen if the light catches them and even then they are hardly noticeable. Just can't get them to show with a camera so no pics but they really are hardly visible - Luckily Colnago frame tubing is totally smooth on the inside but just want to be completely honest in the description.
The Cost:
Looking for £120 inc posting (recorded first class) or £110 collected - I live in Fife (KY5 0NR) and work in Edinburgh (near Gyle).
I've had a search online and can't find this seatpost for anywhere near this price.
