SEAT POST:
Stronglight Aero Laprade (modified) - one piece cast 6061-T6 aluminum alloy construction - aerodynamic profiled shaft with "limit line" and height adjustment scale (metric) - Laprade style head with single bolt micro-adjusting clamp - polished finish shaft and headstock - 20 mm offset - 215 mm x 25.0 mm - model Aero Laprade : O.M.A.S. seat post hardware - aluminum alloy - M8 x 40 mm SHCS - model 177 ... [Inasmuch as MAVIC did not offer a branded version of their own seat post until 1989, I have opted to affix a suitably French in origin Stronglight Aero Laprade seat post, the likes of which debuted in late 1984 for the 1985 model year. While it certainly bears a physical resemblance to that specialty Rubis / Vitus branded seat post which would ultimately be supplied with their late 1980’s Carbone 9 and 1990’s O.C.T. framesets, basically this was Stronglight’s aero profiled version of the venerable Laprade seat post incorporating that distinctive micro-adjusting head borrowed from the latter. Of course, several other manufacturers have produced various Laprade style seat posts under license over the years, including perhaps most notably and most prolifically, Sakae Ringyo (SR) of Japan and Kalloy of Taiwan.]
