I know quite a few have been in looking at these saying it's going on the xmas list, so this is just a heads up:

From the next batch the price is going up, quite a bit. In stock at the old price I still have a couple of 31.6 lever operated, 1 31.6 remote operated and 1 30.9 lever operated. Once these are gone the next batch is due in Dec and the prices are going up.

If you've no idea what I'm on about, these are the latest must have adjustable seatposts:

Honestly, don't know.

The supplier says mid Dec and about £10-20. But, experience has taught me NEVER trust dates suppliers give, they're always wrong. And I mean ALWAYS! Also the £10-20 increase was mentioned about 5 weeks ago, the pound has weakened a lot against the dollar since, so I wouldn't be surprised if the price goes up again.

As soon as I have firm dates and prices I'll post.

Seatposts that go up and down themselves, whatever next?

I predict it's only a matter of time before they invent a bike that wont need to be pedaled at all. ;)

OK, new stock is due to me around 14/15 Dec. Cost is going to be £159.99 for the lever, £199 for the remote.

Ouch!
