Well, as the vintage Dura Ace aero seat post arrived and was 15-20mm shorter than seller had discribed, its taking little longer than expected, sent it back and awaiting refund before getting another.
I'm either gonna have to go for one of the Easton Dura Ace (7410?) seat posts that come in longer sizes, or a Nitto S83, which is what I think I'm gonna go for.
Although as others have pointed out, the Thomson seems obvious choice, but I just can't over that stupid looking bend setback...
Thanks for the SLR recommendation though TM, well salve and even more comfortable than the Arione, which shocked the hell outta me!
I'll be leaving it as is though, not stripping down a perfectly good saddle thats already as minimal as it gets, especially as managed to get a brand new carbon railed one off ebay for only £70, get in!
Then the only thing I reckon then is a new rear wheel, but that's on hold for bit as finances are tighter than a very tight thing indeed.
edit: Ooookay, no Easton DA post, as a lot of the reviews seem to indicate the come apart a lot! Nitto is then!
