X Lite 31.6 seatpost - 1994 - ti bolt - 236g - SOLD

[2manyoranges]

One rather nice X Lite 31.6 seatpost - a model which has caused controversy on here in the past - ‘...it’s just a Kalloy...’ - but it’s not that simple. I bought this direct from X Lite to go in an American frame in ‘94 - and at the time it was really difficult to get 31.6 in the UK. Choices I could see at that time were Ringle, USE with a huge plastic shim (I tried that and it looked awful) and this. Not bad at 236grams, ti bolt, a fixing arrangement which actually works and does not need retightening after getting the right position, unlike so many. I think X Lite indeed sourced it from the Far East, as they did a proportion of their models, but the top casting is not identical to Kalloy. Quite radical layback, which I found useful on the full sus frame I had it on. 330mm length. Anyway, enough wittering, here it is, 45:00 including mainland posting.

PM for dibs if you fancy it.

Is that the one that came on Kleins?

Rampage (great name BTW) I think that the common fitment for Kleins became black Shimano XT, but at the time I could not for love or money get one in the UK in 31.6 mm - and it's interesting to note the very similar deep layback clamp design....

I think this X lite would actually look excellent on a silver-themed Klein (rather than the exorbitant aftermarket Ringle solution) and grief, 75:00 for an XT one....
