|   Seatpost upgrade? | andrew
Nov 2, 2001 4:38 PM | | I have a titec x wing seatpost now, it isnt a boat anchor but it is a pain in the ass to get adjusted right. So I am thinking about springing for a new seatpost, and I figure I should upgrade to a light one. I am a lightweight (130-140 depending on the time of year) so it doesnt need to be super strong. I just want something that is high quality and reliable as well as light..... and of course not bank-busting. |

Nov 2, 2001 7:25 PM | | Thomson Elite for $60 is the best money you'll spend on a post. There are lighter ones, but none allow you to easily set it and totally forget about it. Plus, I hear its customer service is awesome.
PricePoint has it for that price, by the way. |
| for $60 you can get a shock absorbing titanium post... | clary.
