it would need Ti seatpost and rear green wildgripper
I'm open to the Ti post, but aesthetics are the question: Many Ti posts come polished and, in my opinion, clash with the 'n*ked' finish of the Ibis. Also, this post is 28.6 mm, which is a tough find. I know Syncros and Moots made posts this size...the Moots finish matches better...but I'm not in love with their design.
For now the black Thomson brings a nice contrast, but we'll see what comes down the pike! I'll admit also of sensitivity to being named a "Posseur" or "That Guy", with Ti sprinkled at all 22 corners of the bike. One must be careful. Or am I too vain?
Most likely longterm solution: I understand Steve Potts is now making some Ti posts--it would look right, be top quality and most fitting to the pedigree, provided he'd do a 28.6......

Is Santa bringing a TI seatpin for you this year?
al.
I believe Santa is open to the Ti seatpin suggestion. Please send a link to an appropriate example!
And I'll be on the lookout for another foam green Wildgripper...
