im putting togather a fairly cheap bike for a friend with a £200 budget. the bike looks pretty good but desperatly needs a new saddle and seatpost.
we decided on getting the cheap £25 charge spoon saddle, as ive found it to be excellent and is within the budget.
however finding a cheap seatpost is difficult. most start at around £40+, and anything less looks like a peice of crap. i know you get what you pay for, but should somthing as simple as a metal post with a clamp on top really be this expensive. it seems silly to spend that much a seatpost when doing a budget build.
can anyone recommend a cheap post that doesnt look like a total piece of crap?
