Here’s a half-finished seat/seatpost combo I am making for Project One:
.
are you going to overlay carbon over that? b/c that would just be ‘sic’!
sweeeet!
This is a 100% carbon seat/seatpost (okay- 99% carbon and 1% epoxy glue). It is not anywhere near completed. I am going to add another six layers of carbon at the seat/post junction, then finish out the seat. I was toying with using texalium, as I did find a source for it, but have thought better of it.
wait…the post isn’t going to be the shape of the tape? damn…i thought you were going to make it into a carbon faring type thing…
oh well…looks pretty sweet either way
Oh, no- it IS an aero seat/seatpost. It is obscured with tape to facilitate proper curing.
Forecasted weight: 200 grams complete. This is, however, a traditional seatpost, as a “compact” post/saddle assembly would weigh considerably more.
