2014 CNC aluminum construction highlights this seatpost from Pizzaz. Thanks to the careful removal of material where it isn't needed, the seatpost weighs just 220 grams while retaining it's strength.
Because of the sculpted neck, cannot have saddle < 2" from seatlug. Also, I wonder if possibly these will snap down the road when they get older, its sooooo light.

Bottom Line:
AWESOME SEATPOST. This is a true micro-adjusting seatpost, with a beautiful frosty anodized finish. It has the beautiful look of an old-style Campagnolo Chorus seatpost. I bought this seatpost from Performance Bike (their "Forte'" seatpost last year was made by pazzaz), and I ended up going back to buy 3 of them (It helped that it was on closeout for $10/ea!) I would buy this seatpost at $70 or less, its an awesome deal.

Bottom Line:
Replace my stock Bontrager with this post and I am sooo happy with it. Looks great right out of the box and holds well in tough trails which usually rocked the old Bontager back and forth. This seatpost has two-bolts design and nice finish, one of the best replacement.

Bottom Line:
i think that this seatpost is by far the best seatpost you can get for that price. thompson delivers about the same quality and ajustability, for 20$ to 30$ more.
everyone that don't need the "hot" stuff to do mountain biking and concerned a little about money should get a pazzaz 2014 cnc seatpost.

Strengths:
Lighter than the Generic 4 year old post. Much better adjustability.
Weaknesses:

Similar Products Used:

Bike Setup:
For this one, Fisher Kaitai, Other Bike Turner Burner
Bottom Line:
This seems to be a very good quality post for the money. It is definitely much lighter than a generic post and the head is fully adjustable like my Thomson. The adjustment and clamp mechanism are substantially beefier than my Thomson. NOTE: This post is a two piece with the clamping mechanism inserted and bonded to the post. The Thomson is a one piece design. That said, $29 vs. $69 is a big difference.
