    Hope you have a skin tight flannel to go with the bookshelf bars and chickenhead post

  • I've used one of those VCLS split posts on my Mason for road ultras for a while. Bit of a faff but I miss it when I went back to the Thomson for a bit. I now have an eeSilk on it for reasons I can't recall (it was on the gravel bike).

    The bars can fuck right off though :)

  • you have creaking/slipping problems with the vcls post? i had one for a while but thing could not perform the core function of a seatpost despite being overtorqued.

    What's the narrowed down list of the bikes then?
