Hi all
I'm looking to replace the alu seatpost on my Focus Cayo and I've come across a Concept full carbon post taken off an Izalco at at reasonable price. Has anyone got one of these and knows what it weighs? Thanks!

Hi I have seen this for the CFP one on their site
Recommended Use: Road Riding and Racing
Construction: Monocoque carbon fiber construction - Black Carbon
Size: 27.2 diameter x 300mm long
Weight: 180 grams

Do you need the set back?

Thanks chris14. Yes my current post has around 20mm so I'd like to replace it with a carbon post that has around the same setback. I quite like the look of the CPX post as well.

Hi mogwaiboi, I suppose it depends on what you are looking for, shaving the most weight off your bike (could be v.expensive), or finding an alternative in carbon without maybe maxing weight loss.

I have had a kcnc TI in the past and I am currently riding a woodman el carbon, both made a real difference to the weight on my old seatpost (Richey comp). The woodman is really comfortable and they also do a setback version (DX) but the 'look' is not as fluid as the concept
