This is probably the best one for the bucks.

Richeys have been known to break since they are strengthened front to rear and
not side to side.

There is only about an ounce diffeence in weight -- and I got a steel post
that was only $15 that weighed the same as the TCO. It was also made by
some cheapo seat post manufacturer and was a chrome-moly post. The
only reason to use the expensive seat posts is for the dignified way
they look. :-)
