Seatpost is Canyon. I bought it used since I couldn't afford to pay out for a new one (Ergon or Canyon).
Though I will say if you can afford to pay out for a new one its definitely worth the money. It really is true when they say it can transform any frame (that takes 27.2mm post) into a super comfy frameset.
It feels a bit like riding on a 35c tire with 40psi. Its that good. It softens all the bigger bumps and smoothes out a heck of a lot of noise. I rode a thomson before and the difference is huge.
And yet its not like riding a sofa. Side to side stiffness is great and its still firm enough to not screw with handling or seat-crank distance.
If you suffer from lower back aches this is definitely for you.
Bit of advice, you'll need good carbon mounting paste and a decent clamp to make sure it doesnt slip. Not that I had problems but I've heards other people have.
Frame is FM066 and is quite comfy on its own.
