If you dont know what your talking about dont make out you do.
quick release clamps are bad. double or even single bolt clamps are
alot better. just take an allen key with you if you want to change the
hight. double bolt clamps are the best, holding the post tighter than
any others. You can never get quick release clamps tight enough, they
always alow your seat to twist. They also often having a bolt sticking
out. this is easy to bash your knees or legs on.
Im not convinced intergated clamps are best. I prefer the seperate
ones, im sure they probably work better as well as looking better (IMO)
Im not to sure about square tubing being stronger although I dont know
better. Why is round tubeing always used if box is better?
It seems all you care about is what it looks like, I think that should
be the last thing to worry about.
If you want the strongest uni you can get and dont care about the
weight why dont you just fabricate your own frame out of steel at a
fraction of the price.
If I could weld/machine ti I would make a frame exactly the same as the
triton sponge, I think that desigh is un-matched.
