We have been asked the last 2-3 years for ISP (Integrated Seat Post) on a regular basis and we have built a few. We like them in general terms, but have always been upfront about the potential limiting issues with them, specifically travel, shipping and fitting issues. Because of those issues, we have never offered an ISP on any of our stock designs, and we do not plan to anytime soon. However, given the nature of our custom bikes, meaning we have a serious discussion with the rider and the dealer about all custom options, we feel that offering the ISP option on custom frames now makes sense. We are initially offering them with Ritchey WCS “stubby” posts that feature small amounts of vertical adjustment and a nicely executed one-bolt fastening system, although it appears that there will be some additional 34.9mm ID post options this year.
