It suits the angle of the seat tube perfectly. :4_17_5: :4_17_5: and looks so fast with it.

Post by: ozone on August 17, 2010, 09:41 PM: I prefer the black Kashi with the chrome post but the lack of a black seat clamp to break up the joint between tube and post spoils the balance and the all black seat/post combo of the Uni is too much.

One of those black/silver stripey fluted posts could be a winner. :-\

Post by: glenboy on August 17, 2010, 09:48 PM: uni uni uni gives it the full race look, but the brake black or silver to my reckoning :daumenhoch:

Post by: bmx xxx on August 17, 2010, 10:25 PM: i personaly like the chrome seat post so it all blends in,

Post by: bobafett on August 18, 2010, 12:06 PM: I'm not usually a fan of UNI seats and I love Kashi MX seats....but...... if I'm honest I think the UNI is the better set-up for that build - I think the built in seat clamp and angle of seat tube have a part to play in that. A black seat clamp would normally break up the transition from frame to seatpost, but with the built in clamp, well I think the black seatpost from the UNI breaks things up a bit - but it's not a goose so what the fook do I know :D

Lovely lookin build either way though mate :coolsmiley:
