Bike Setup:
2006 F1 Extralite V4.0 - Posted under 1998 F1 Extralite
Bottom Line:
Pictures do not do part justice. The amount of detail that went into machining the seatpost is incredible. I have no complaints, the seat-rails stay secure and do not slide around. Rigid, I weigh between 172 and 174 lbs and do not feel any flex. Everything screams quality and perfection down to the Titanium bolts!
