Ordered the 5 degree Toseek seatpost in the second link, asked for no branding and they said yes, happy with that! https://www.aliexpress.com/snapshot/0.html?spm=a2g0s.9042647.0.0.59034c4dSdL94t&orderId=96291438123132&productId=32875665589

Will report back when it arrives.

picked up spexel bib shorts and jersey this week, bit slow on delivery but really happy with the fit and quality. was pleasantly surprised.

thinking of getting a 29er frame...I keep looking and then bottling the purchase.

Tis the season - spexcel/orient gabbas?

Link doesn't work, but if it's one with a head like this:

Then put a small amount grease on the sloped faces of the two side wedges. It's a copy of the old Enve clamp and that's what they recommend to stop any creaking.

if it's one with a head like this

...then they tend to send a bolt that's too long. I have spare with Torx heads in a length which doesn't poke out of the side and snag your shorts🙂

I could do with one of these

Can anyone make head / tail of the sizing chart for this Spexcel special?

Buy 3 - sell the two ones that doesn't fit.

I could do - or I could keep all three and layer up!

Or not buy any.

Yes it is, ta, will do.

Colour me interested, can I take this off you please? (Can paypal etc.)

I could do with one of these

If you just want something that fits, ask your local fastener shop for M6×25 socket cap. Accu do low-cap Torx with a MOQ of 1 which is just over £4 with shipping and VAT. I'll sell you one of my spares for £2.50 shipped.

Foakley finally has arrived!!
