Looking for a new seatpost and having a look on CRC the Masterpiece is £97 and the Elite is on sale for £56 and was wondering if for the sake of 40g its worth it??
It's only really a weight difference so that depends on your weight weenie tendencies.
Nope - they look the same and both hold your seat in place.
Save your money for something else IMO
go for the elite, use the rest of the saving for something else
Up to you innit? It's functionally no better, but I spose if you were going for a programme of weight saving over the whole bike, then the Masterpiece is the one to get. Although some carbon posts are lighter.
I bought a hardly used Masterpiece for just forty pounds. It's very nice. 🙂
It WILL make you faster*
(* there is no scientific proof to back this up)
Elites are £51.95 on Merlin
Thanks guys/gals
In no rush although my current easton cheapo post is 5 years old and starting to creek like mad in the frame so will keep an eye out for a second hand Masterpiece or just get the Elite new over the next few weeks.
