Glws-
Thanks for the suggestion i hadn't heard of these and it should look nice especially after I've customised it. It's super light with a carbon cradle and oval top clamps so should be gentle on the Tune saddle rails. The Tune posts have a maximum insertion so may not work on my horizontal tt frame as there won't be much post poking out. The more expensive Mt Zoom and Ultimate use posts were essentially the same just more expensive and didn't have removable decals. All of the neat side clamping one bolt posts required min 12nm to clamp the rails which i thought might be tough on my saddle. The Hylix should hold at 8nm even if it needs re tightening after the first couple of rides until it settles. The Alpinist looked too difficult to set up on a saddle with out a cut out. The MCFK worked out well over £300 including shipping and extra taxes. Couldn't find any 15mm superleggeros and the inline looked too top heavy similar to my k force which i was originally going to use so in the end it came down to the Hylix and a Carbon Masterpiece £75 vs £225 I'll get my post and stem for that money so the price swung it in the end. 5-6 week wait on the post though but my frame won't be here until at least March so not a problem. Hope I've made the right choice. Just stem and bar tape to order now i think. Ordered a Ali carbon works copy bottle cage as well. I reckon I'm on for 7.5kg final build weight 🤞

Seatpost ordered I've gone for a super light T-bar style Hylix carbon post without graphics. This will be cut to around 250mm so should weigh about 130g once chopped. Also ordered some chrome effect Colnago club decals and going to use one on the rear of the post just under the head. Ordered a Aliexpres carbon works copy bottle cage as well. Not expensive but not cheap so hopefully the quality will be OK when they turn up 🤞
