....goes to chap on local Facebook site for these two beauties.
Having bought a Warhead stem and Warhead bars for my new build, I thought it would be fitting to complete the finishing kit with saddle and seatpost from the same range, even though the bike is no longer going to be a Nukeproof. Imagine then my joy at finding a "nearly new" saddle and seatpost for £35 including postage. I snapped them up and paid using PayPal goods and services, which when I received the items, I was more than glad of. Needless to say, I shall be returning these for a refund, then using a seatpost from the parts box with a Spoon
Exhibit 1) Saddle
Entirely twisted chassis, bent rails made even more painful for being Ti
Exhibit 2) Seatpost
Seems to have been purchased by someone who ordered the wrong diameter and then thinned down using an angle grinder. Or a chainsaw. Hard to tell.

Ha ha ha! That seat post is a classic! I assume there weren't photos available before you bought? And they were described as "nearly new"?All the gear, no idea and loving the smell of jealousy in the morning.

These are photos from my Desk of Shame. The original photos were of the pair installed in a frame and I made the mistake of taking someone's word for it. Just exemplifies why I rarely bother with the second hand market any moreCurrent fleet
