>>>Dan Christopherson wrote (in part): I've got a single bolt SR seatpost with an allen-head bolt........it looks like the the second generation post in the picture, but I was told on an earlier post that the allen-head parts were from the later C-record aero post and were substituted as they started running out parts on the soon-to-be discontinued SR posts.
Wouldn't that make my post the last generation????<<<<<<

Nope. If you bought the post new and it came with the allen bolt, maybe it was an anomaly or switched by someone. However, there are lots of S-Rec posts floating around out there with allen fixing bolts. It was a very common "upgrade" at the time. I have heard that some of the last generation posts came equipped with an allen bolt, but don't think I've ever actually seen one in the box. The fully polished post (the one in the center in my pic) is definitely the last one. The first generation (on the right) is the most uncommon. The second generation (on the left) is the most common.
