I could change the saddle of course but I like the SDG Formula FX saddle that came with the bike and I REALLY like the I-Beam system. Back to Commencal it goes and I’ll see if they can send me an I-Beam post. If not I guess I could eBay it and use the proceeds to buy a new I-beam post.

I’ll have to get some spares for the new frame I suppose.
