I upgraded from my Moto Fantom Pro 9er frame to a Voodoo Aizan scandium/alu frame. The weight difference is unbelievable with the scandium frame being super light. I also added a few ti parts where the budget allowed. I can't wait to hit the trails!

Is that a Chi-Ti eBay special seat post? I got one of the one that look like a Ti Thomson clone. So far so good. Of course mine is heavier than that one. How is the ride?
I had one of the Chi Ti posts. $68 delivered. It lasted about 6 months. It was fine on my single speed for months. I eventually switched it to my full suspension rig, and I bent it on the third ride. I am pretty sure I bent it charging up a short rocky uphill while still in the saddle. I weigh 220 in my birthday suit, so probably 235 with gear and full water.
