Hovis's dream Burls Ti custom track

I'd have gone for the sram s900 levers, but whatevs.

Did cross my mind, but the compact cane creek levers are so comfy for my girly hands

Have you weighed it yet?

Yeah, its 7.7kg all in. Weight wasn't a factor when I was speccing it although I did weigh all the bits. The frame came in at a porky 1.65kg. Would have probably been 300g or so lighter if I didn't ask for the beefy downtube and wishbone stays

Worth every gram

Kent Eriksen seatpost would looks mighty fine.

Am strongly considering this. Do you know if they are stocked anywhere in the uk at all?

Worth every gram

Indeed.

Think you have to buy direct.

Tilover has a sweet post, but I'm not sure if he bought it from KE

There's some cheaper Ti options available :

Van Nicholas Titanium Seat Post ? Cheap at Planet X

Or

PMP seat post? Which is available in a range of offsets and inline. I may be wrong, but I think I read that Cipollini specified them when racing

Yeah but....

PMP everytime.

None of this bent bollocks.

Don't come in here waving yer balls around Andy

Nothing wrong with a nice curved one

KE seatposts are great. good looking, light, easy to adjust and change saddles should you desire. Good buy imo.
May not be worth it to you but removing logos under clearcoat is far from impossible, just takes abit of time.

Nice bike!

I think the KE and the moots are very good looking, but I have a feeling with my relatively short length of post, it could look quiet odd with a curved post. I'm leaning towards the pmp post now, the 23mm setback version. I don't mind the use alien ones actually but I don't think I would get enough setback, plus I have heard their clamp mechanisms are not the best.

I keep changing my mind though. I'm very indecisive.

If you buy a moots post and clamping mechanism is a concearn dont buy the old models. They are an absolute bitch to set up and change saddles with.

Cheers for the info.

Apparently Blb have the pmp posts in store. Will have a nosey in there at the weekend
