^That a road seatpost so I dont know if that is your best option. Honestly for a seat post close to 200g for Mountain use you should look at Thompson. But be prepared to be upwards of 90 dollars.

Sorry I missed the Carbon Part.

How important is Carbon to the OP? I just looking around the lowest MTN Carbon post I have seen is around 240g. A Thompson Aluminum one that will cost around 90 bucks weigh 201g.
Well...seeing that we are dreaming here...

Here's what I'm, looking for:
A toilet seat
material: solid gold with titanium hardware
size: just right to fit my butt
must include female super model
budget: USD $8.39

Any suggestions?
Ta-Daa!

Meets every one of your criteria except weight (mine weighed 229g). BTW, that is a horrible photo- they look much better in person.

So...you can't figure out how to find a seat post.
Then you post in the "Racing and training" forum( instead of , let's say"weight weenie" forum)
But you can find solid gold cheap toilet seats?

It's hilarious, I've mentioned RECOMMENDATION.
If this is going on a HT, I'd get a 27.2 or 26.8 carbon post and shim kit for the added flex of the seatpost. I did this on my HT and went from a race face 31.6 alum post to a Bontrager 27.2 RXL post and it became much more comfy.

Sorry, more flex = higher chance of failure?
