Ray - it sounds like you are on to a lost idea. You could write a book on the
lost art of saving for something. It could be like a new diet book for
Euromericans.
It's funny - when I bought my Hilsen, it was the first thing I saved up for
probably since I was a kid. I then bought components
I stopped by RBW today. Keven said the 1st 2 lay-aways have been

I've never understood why lay away is more appealing than saving up
for something.
Of course in my case I never actually buy what I save up for. For

I agree with this; I much prefer two-bolt for adjustment (tho' all of my

priced one; and neat old Simplex that is actually 2-bolt but the bolts clamp

Origin8 makes a nice silver double bolt seatpost for a good price. It

Also for a little more the new Ritchey Classic is very nice too.

No one has ever made a better seatpost than the Salsa Shaft.
Saddly, they no longer make it in silver. I stocked up the year they
stopped making silver and I'm glad I did.
If you can find one, they are the cat's pajamas in my opinion.
