Great bikes. Why did you change the Flash seatpost? Too heavy? Too much flex?

Flash std seatpost was +/-90gms heavier than KCNC plus wouldn't accept carbon rail saddle. Plus made of really cheap looking carbon. Now on my wife's F800. :P

Very nice set you have there.

Curious about the ride quality of the flash. Care to share some ride reports?

Camera is Nikon D700 with a 50mm F1.4 lens. Flash is best hardtail mtb I've ridden. Fork is amazing. BB super stiff. I might switch the bars for low risers, but apart from that, it's perfect.
