• Thanks to everyone who suffered through the list of questions - much appreciated.

    I posted here first as I thought it would be the toughest crowd, admitted I'm not a hardcore cyclist, I do have a Guerciotti road bike, a Mountain bike, an old school BMX, a '71 old school triumph chopper and a moped - so i'm more of a mix of a type of guy.

    Like all good things, everyone has their preferences, as a designer looking to get some ideas off the ground its good to know if there is a clear favourite.

    Fizzy and Scilly, yes, I cant compete with Fizik and Thompson, this is very much looking at a styling exercise rather than a revolution. Looking at colours, metal finishes, manufacturing methods.

    Its possible some people wont be the target market, but when it comes to making a prototype all this information is helpful to zero in on the initial seat post.

    I think I'll update the survey so some things are clearer, I think it reads as too open ended at the moment.

    Keep up the good feedback!

    Cheers

  • Don't let people like me put you off, but one of these is a "styling exercise" and the other is entirely adequate for the vast majority of riders:

    • funky design and available in a range of colours for £50...

    • available in black or silver and every size known to man for £15...

  • I love the "Safety System" etching just visible on the head of the broken seatpost. You really wouldn't want that in your notcher would you.
