Title: Shimano DX seatpost info please?
Post by: factory pilot on September 03, 2015, 02:53 PM

Was talking to Joff the other day and we couldn't decide on whether  DX posts came painted ( the colour block at the top ) or if this was a decal. I know Del does replacement decals but we're they originally a painted on block ( enamel paint ? )
Anyone got an OG one who can confirm either way or anyone got any info?
Cheers Ant
