To hack or not...would you?

Just acquired a nice shiny FSA K Force Light Carbon seatpost.

Thing is it's 350mm long and I only need 250mm tops.

Question is would you cut it down or not if it was yours (not that I'm offering it out :D )

It's just sooooo shiny and perfect as it is I'm inclined to leave it be.

Just wondering what the general consensus is.

    It'll be lighter once cut down :P

    Chop it, unless you are planning on getting leg extensions.

    Do it. I'm chopping an alloy post down with a pipe cutter almost as I type.

    And I've already finished a long-reach brake nut that was just too damn long-reach.
    A Titanium one, it took an hour and three new wheels for the pipe cutter :shock:
