Ive nothing to gain on this but what's wrong with trying the 6kcycles anyway?

I mean, I talked to the company owner and he was specific that I should try his alu post, not the carbon, even though he made more money on the carbon ones and actually lost money on the alu at the ebay "promo" price. I dont think its hard to believe that, as we see many expensive itens around when it comes to high grade 7068 T6 aluminum whatever that means.. and he also advised me at 150 lbs, Id be safer on rough roads on the alu than on his carbon post.

on a side note, he admitted to me that the hardware is not outstanding, as I read somewhere.. again, I havent tried it, so...

which is why mine is for sale..

unfortunetly, Ill have to sell it here in Brazil I guess, better value for both of us!

if it makes you happy, see below: (the scale kept indecisive between 114-115..)
and there is room for cutting, and those bolts are heavy and smelly, look like iron to me! the post is sweet looking as I said..

yep

bought on ebay though, almost half the price after shipping

Ive answered most of this above but anyway.. my pleasure to help! overall quality seems top notch by looking at it. I cant say my opinion about confort since i havent tried it..
On a further note though, the owner of the company was fast in answering me and said i shouldnt be able to feel a difference. From what i see the shaft is so thin, if I hit you in the with it you wouldnt feel so much pain lol
cheers
