I see you've chosen the Cave Creek Thudbuster s-t. Absolutely my favourite seat post shock hands down!
Posted by: Pete Day at March 12, 2005 07:51 AMNice one Mr Day, glad to read your wry wit once again!
The Thudbuster in fact belongs to Scott, because, as Bebb can tell you, I like my seatposts straight and hard.
Given your interest in cylindrical projectiles, I will take a photo of my bike, with a close-up of the seatpost, for your viewing (and any other) pleasure.
By the way, how is the Cannondale holding up? Did you notice that it has a Rock Shox suspension seatpost?
