Yesterday I received the first piece of the project :DarimoT2 seatpost
It's shipped with handwritten paper "80,7g" and weight is accurate.
I made a stealth version within the hour, removing the darimo stickers.

This should be fun. Do you already have the frameset?

Nice touch with black background photos Did you shot them like that or edited the background for the distinct look?
Yeah, before making this project I did some maths, comparing several frames, costs, advantages and issues, and also possibility of fakes, my first choice was trek emonda slr frame, a bit lighter, and direct mount brakes, but it's very expensive and may risks to find a fake on second hand market, so I didn't take the risk.
Last choice was french brand "origine axxome", but it's a bit heavier, also more expensive, 2K price range for frame, a bit more for custom paint.

Wishing all the best in the build! Keeping to a budget makes if challenging and frankly more interesting.
