–Ritchey 1-bolt seatposts finally came in around 4. Got one to work right away. Then went into the bedroom with the Specialized and Selle saddles to (a) put the bolt on the other side of the Specialized, (b) install the Selle. Many hours later, both are done, with bolts on the wrong side (the only way they’ll go in). HUGE problems (a) figuring out how the bracket goes together, and, once solved, (b) getting the second one to hold together while I installed the seatpost. I do think it has a design flaw with the rubber piece that flops out at the tiniest provocation. I ended up holding it with some kapton tape. What a nightmare. Then my back went out…
