Since having the Super Pista I've thought the aerofoil section seat tube shape was kind of spoiled aesthetically by the thin round section seatpost, so I started looking for an aero seatpost. The only ones I could find easily available new were the Toseek Chinese carbon ones and I was a bit concerned they would be rubbish. I have had a seat post break in the past (USE titanium) and it was literally a pain in the arse, so I asked on a the Any Question Answered thread and got positive reviews of the Toseek so I decided to chance it and went ahead and ordered one.
So it is lighter than the Fizik one fitted already and seems to be very well finished with a nice even smooth satin texture. I'm not too keen on the graphics, but you can't have everything.
Anyway I have fitted it and tried it on a short ride and it does feel a little more forgiving than the Aluminium Fizik or maybe my imagination.
I was surprised to find it only just fitted as the wide aero section is pretty close to the seat clamp and I do have a fair bit of post showing, it's a 55 (Centre top) frame and I'm about six foot tall.
I think it really looks good with the frame, like it was made for it!
All in all I'm very pleased with the result!
