Condor carbon seatpost = disappointing

I bought a Condor Leggero in January and enjoy the frame a lot. But there is one weak point that I find disturbing. The seat post. The clamp is...appalling.

Has anyone else noticed this?

My saddle has a tendency to slide back on its rails, something that I'd never experienced with other seat posts.It's not like I can just tighten the bolt more than it is. I have enough experience to know when to stop putting torque on something.

This is a particular disappointment because all of the other items are fairly high spec. I have a Deda Newton bar and Zero100 stem, Arione saddle, etc. It's not like I've kitted it with bargain basement parts. I had, I would understand would warrant a less-than-top-of-the-range seat post.

It's the only taint on an otherwise excellent bike.

    Sounds like a cheap OEM part - buy something decent from Deda, Ritchey or FSA for example and it'll go away
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..

    That's interesting.....I noticed the other day that my saddle had slipped back on my Condor Barrachi.
