That's a very nice seatpost on the Siena, but I'm not sure he can find the same saddle position with a zero setback post. Plus, imo there's enough dark/black colors on the frameset to pick up the carbon seatpost nicely. I really regret selling my Record seatpost.. It's worth a lot more too nowadays. :(

@RyanH,
Thanks for sharing and very nice Siena!
Unfortunately, not exactly a fan of non-setback seatpost..
Additionally, the Ti seatpost that came with frame/fork weighs a hefty 240grams at 350mm, length which is way too long IMHO.

@irongatsby,
+1, classic Campy Record 27.2mm all the way :thumbup:

You don't need chain catcher. The chain never droped inside.

Damn...this build is gradually turning into a heavyweight :(
The 2015 SR groupset is a boat anchor, as compared to the 2014..sure hope it compensates with better shifting
A projected weight of approx 6690gr or higher when completed :unbelievable:

@soracabana,
thanks for sharing, the chain catcher is just for additional "security".

Althought LWs always look great I think Boras will look better on it.

LWs joining the darkside? Agree that Bora's are a much better fit.. stay classic, stay true.

He just put an Extralite stem on it and you guys think LW would look out of place?! (nothing wrong with the Extralite stem but it's not the classic look people want with the Campy wheels)

At least extralite is made in Italy.

No worries gentlemen, I'll put on the LW after the Boras.
With the Bora the built is all Italian, less Conti Competition, Look Blades, "xxx" bars which I prefer not to mention lol..

@Calnago,
Not the best of pics but here is one taken via mobile after a test ride..
Proper pics to follow in the coming weeks..
6960 grams as seen.

Cheers!
