hi all'.... well we have seen two solutions to a common but not
unescapable(or insurmountable) problem with campy's un original one bolt design. at an
average weight of 215 lbs.and 6.0 i have managed to use 4 of those seatposts
w/o too much heartache and/or slippage.i will admit to having shied away from
the 2 bolt model for reasons of slightly less than manual dexterity or
patience in tight mechanical situations,if one happened to fall my way pricewise or
any wise i would probably be wise enough to want it. i can only attest that
this style's(2 bolt) popularity remains unabated if judging from e-bay
(which i spend far too much leisure time watching ) i also seem to recall from
reading this list that for those brave enough to use it, the saddle position is
most definitely immobile which is a great benefit to people who don't fiddle
around with their saddle position once dialed in. now that i have defended
some people's sad and pathetic devotion to that archaic
religion(campagnolo)movie nuts such as myself will get the allusion....,i need to have another
question answered. just how old is the one bolt design as it continues to be
fairly popular? i have a fluted seat post(looks older than dirt but probably
isn't) that says brev and gp in cursive script and i have been told is gippieme
it is spring loaded and has grooves that mate and though alloy and about 180
mm could definitely do double duty as a war club. and my second question
would be (due to not having seen any myriad of different types or models)what
are other popular and or unflawed clamping sytems for seats ,or better still
and definitely more subjective,what are your favorite seatposts either for
style ,function,weight weenieness(new word )rarity ,whatever? enquiring minds
want to know.... be... good.... kevin ruberg howell nj usa.....
thanks(seriously) to those who replied w/the helpful hints as i might not always be
lucky...pps i have seen that thingie that goes between the saddle rails and fits on
top of a "plain* post i know its neurotic but i get visions of being impaled on
that arrangement somehow though it appears to be technically impossible from
the way it is configured...but i digress...
