Carbon seat post finish

I agree that the seat post has a raw unfinished functional look. I imagine a light application of shoe polish or car bumper black will improve the looks (for a while..). Out of interest - how is this particular post tightened into the frame?

It's that wedge you see with an Allen bolt in it. I'm not really keen on non round seatposts, it's more problematic if they get a bit sticky

Thanks for explaining, guess this method does away with the seat clamp for a 'cleaner' look.

More importantly it'll be more aerodynamic.
