Nice looking machine.

WRT your slipping seatpost, it didn't matter how much I tightened mine when it was new, it kept slipping down.

I resorted to a light sandpapering of the bottom of the seat tube to give it a rough surface and therefore, something to grip.

I know it's hard to start attacking your pride and joy immediately after you've bought it, but this worked for me.

Hmm.. thank you -.sounds like something that will work but what is the seatpost made from? Is it alu?

It was simply to roughen the surface slightly.

Mine has gone through this winter being used every day and show no signs of rust.

However. I'm not an expert on these things and don't want to say that will never happen.

My rationale was that it was all 'too shiny' to get any purchase.

Just to say, some weeks into B ownership now and glad to report that the more I ride it, the more I like it - which was exactly the opposite experience I had with my Dahon. Happy days.

Congrats, nice colour scheme, I got one in white too, but not the black edition.
