Have any of you guys spent time on this seat post? I spotted a comment that said this seat post was 'harsh' according to a review, though I haven't been able to find the review that the post must have been referring to.

How is it in your experience? Thinking to get it based on looks and weight, but don't want it if it's bad. I have the 3T Ionic stealth at the moment, which seems decent to me. Not harsh and apart from the fiddly adjustment that takes getting used to, it's a decent seat post. Just doesn't suit my bike.

If anyone has pics of the seat post on their bike feel free to indulge! :o

Ive been riding one for 2 years now and it's a good post. It's very light and semi-easy to adjust. Once tightened into place it's been rock solid. I haven't noticed it being any harsher than any other post but it's definitely not a soft post.

Honestly the only reason I use it is because it matches my deda bars and stem. It's a good post.

I have changed to a Superleggero from an own brand Merdia.

I can't say I notice any difference, I found the post sometimes doesn't clamp the saddle first time, maybe thats me not tightening it up enough, could we be, but being carbon I trend carefully.

I have been using this for 2 years now. Not a problem, and it is not 'stiff', or anything like that. I am using the smaller diameter one on an Evo, if that makes any difference.
