Just recieved an identical seatpost like the one above (although bought from Aliexpress and not Ebay) and it had very poor roundness once you got within 15 or so cm of the seat clamp. The seatpost is oval 27.6mmX27.3mm. Did not pay more than 15€ for it so I won't cry when it goes into the rubbish bin.

Mine doesn't get inserted quite that far so I've not noticed.

a 130mm de-badged uno stem came in right at 121 grams. It was around 20usd back then last summer.

Deda Elementi Tape is usually <30g finished at $12 shipped. The included bar ends are also on the light end at 5g for the pair.

Pulled the trigger on a Hylix carbon seatpost with 2 Ti bolts. User opinions seems to be good in general.
