Does the seatpost have a textured surface to grip between the top of the shaft and the lower seat rail holder?Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves. ROMANS 15:10

sorry not too sure whereabouts u mean?0 -
At the top of the seatpost, .....oh never mind
does the seat stay secure even if you move it to its extremes, do the two seatpost rail holder screws pull bare metal on metal, or is the metal textured with teeth so it locks in position and can't move even if the bolts are not very tight,... phew :roll:Now that we are strong ought to bear the infirmities of the weak and not to please ourselves.

White and red colourway is looking fine. White saddle would be impractical but look good
