Thomas Goering just got back from a recent Taiwan and brought back some interesting prototypes, like this new seat/seatpost-combo that is being tested right now. With a total weight of 190g/6.7oz (including the alloy seat post!), this gem weighs less than your average seat alone. Because most riders ride their seat at the same angle anyway, we figured that there’s no need for

The new combo could lower the weight of KHE Barbados AM complete bikes by 500g/1.1lbs, yet the retail price won’t increase. KHE
