What im after is a light-ish seatpost in 31.6 and roughly 350mm. Weight would be ~175g. Heres what i have already: 3T Doric Ritchey WCS Any ideas? thanks guys.

I got a 400mm for my mountain bike. Else I would recommend Thomson Masterpiece. _________________ http://www.hackracer.com/

KCNC seems like a solid choice: somewhat lighter than the Thomson. But Easton? Heavy. _________________ http://djconnel.blogspot.com/ Fuji SL/1 Send your data to Weight Weenie listings!

Don't know anything about the post. Weight might be like the Masterpiece. You're just asking what alternatives... _________________ *Light is beautiful* BMC SLC01 5900g ... Litespeed Vortex 6300g ...

Best option IMO would be New Ultimate alloy post. Work perfectly and not that much over 100g - a bit more for the length you want.
