Cyclocross and Gravelbiking (Recreational) This has to be the most physically intense sport ever invented. It's high speed bicycle racing on a short off road course or riding the off pavement rides on gravel like : "Unbound Gravel". We also have a dedicated Racing forum for the Cyclocross Hard Core Racers.

Knockoff or just outright scam?

This can't be real. Anyone want to take one for the team and see if anything shows up?

The seatpost is still on pre-order directly from redshift, so I doubt you can order it for 40$ somewhere else...

Let us know what you receive! I suspect they'll send a cheap regular seat post, and claim an error in shipping. They'll ask you to return it for a refund, which you'll likely never receive.

That is insanely cheap and well below dealer cost. I bet they are scamming to collect credit card nmberss. When you go to checkout it is not a secure https:\ link so I suspect it is not at all legit. The stem alone retails for something like $125 or so...
