Seat posts are one of the bicycle components* where Ti offers no benefits unless you happen to love grey jewellery.

Cheers.

Was thinking that the ti might not scuff up if raised/lowered fairly regularly as I expect an ali post will but if it's a scuffed ali post that stays in place versus a pretty ti post that moves, I'll be going function over form.

I’ve had a Chinese Ti seatpost on my Mash for years, it’s roughly 27% more comfortable and 16% more aesthetically pleasing than a conventional steel or aluminum post. I dare anyone to fund a double blind study with a huge sample size to prove otherwise.
