Dear Weightweenies,
I'm looking for a 27.2 mm carbon seatpost with a 3k carbon weave, glossy finish, 10-25 mm setback, and rated for ca. 85 kg +. The only options I have seen so far are the Darimo T2 for about EUR 300, which looks gorgeous, however is a bit expensive for my taste, and a no label option from aliexpress for about EUR 20, where the quality could be questionable.

Is there a third option out there with a price somewhere in between those above options?

Go to r2-bike.com, look for carbon seatposts and filter to 27.2mm. You'll find plenty of alternatives including their weights.

Any sellers or listings you could vouch for? I'm not going WW on this build so I don't mind a seatpost which weights 70g+ more than whatever wizardry Darimo is able to conjour up. My weight approaches 90kg when dressed to cycle, so I'd want something sturdy.

Elita One are 140g but not really sturdy. The Deda design ones are 170 - 190g depending on length and cradle design and should be ok for your weigh. Choose a seller with good rating and many reviews, or a brand store like Ztto oder Zrace
