Titanium seatpost on titanium frame?

Post by Andiphim »

Hi.
I am getting a new titanium frame soon, just wondering if there is any advantage to having a titanium seatpost instead of a carbon one?

Thanks in advance.
Andi.

There is - it looks miles cooler. :cool:

Don't be shy with the Fenwicks copper anti-seize paste - Ti frames and seatposts have been known to bond together.

As Andy says, just make sure to coat the post in something.
