Funnily enough I have one on the gravel bike. It's great and good at cutting out road/gravel buzz although isn't much help for anything more rowdy such as tree roots.
That and a Redshift stem have both been great additions for comfort on the gravel bike without adding a huge amount of weight or complexity.
You can feel it bob a bit when putting in an effort like a sprint but TBH the Redshift stem is much worse for that than the seatpost.

As above, takes the buzz otherwise feels just like any other post. Can't feel the movement at all

Yes! I had a frame made by them. As the reviews say, be extremely specific about absolutely everything you can think of.
I gave all lengths and angles, the amount of seat tube I wanted extended above the top tube, the location and type of every boss and hole, and the tube diameters for every tube.
I specified super specifically that I wanted oval tapered chain stays as they default to skinny round ones which functionally are fine but I hated the look. They tried to persuade me out of it but I stuck to my guns.
Also tell them standards like which headset and BB you want to use, what size rotor, what size chainring, crank length, tyre clearance etc
I think in the end it came to around 1k shipped to my door but I avoided import duties. Had it 2 years now and it's sweet. Went for brushed finish as it's easy to touch up by hand but blasted looks good too if you want that moots look
