Sometimes I see combos from Jure with seat rails bonded to the post, instead of the type in the post above. What are the pros and cons of each?

Bonded to rails allows for hull flex and not having a rod transferring the impact.

Hi,
sorry for my silence in the past few days! Quite busy and don't really have any free time to check the forums more often, also right now answering from the company :mrgreen:
The seatpost/saddle combos are really in two options - with integrated saddle rails or integrated directly to the saddle shell, as I used to make them already for years. The integrated saddle rails offer the same comfort as a standard saddle, but it also adds weight. For real weightweenies the integrated saddle is the way to go, still the most important is the saddle shell shape

Some more photos from our workshop, thanks to my friend David who made them:

Any though on doing seatposts but inlcuding a size to fit the Cannondale Evo Hi Mod? It's a damn annoying small size with only, it would seem, Hylix in Taiwan making after market

Hi, we have the moulds for that seatpost standard, 25.4mm is no problem, we can make such seatpost. For now we still didn't started yet with the production of our seatpost design, but we could make a standard 0 setback seatpost with 25.4mm, if interested please just drop us an email info(a)berk-composites.com, thanks!
