Serious question - does that seatpost have sharp or near sharp edges to the rail clamps? Especially at the bottom shelf, front and rear. I don't know but I am guessing that a sharp edge would raise the local stress in the saddle rails considerably. Also, was any of the turn up of the rail inside the clamp? Also a stress raiser. I've broken ti rails on both of these.
