I've got an old handjob that I'd like to build back up and having got quite fond of the Reverb on my main bike I was wondering what options I have these days.

Ideally I'd like something reliable and simple like a gravity dropper, I was going to keep it at the inlaws (other end of the country) so I can go out riding when I'm down there. Cheaper would also be good, having said that some of the budget options seem unreliable and not very refined (who'd have guessed)

[b]Gravity Dropper[/b] - Is the only way to get one of these right now to order from the US?

[b][url= http://www.wiggle.co.uk/thomson-elite-dropper-seatpost/ ]Thomson Elite[/url][/b] - too expensive!

[b][url= http://www.stif.co.uk/mtb/product/ks-lev-272-seatpost/12059 ]KS Lev 272[/url][/b] - again quite expensive!

Cheaper options:
[b]Forca Vario[/b]
[b]Ice Lift V8[/b]
[b]TMARS[/b]
[b]Satori[/b]

Are these budget options all variations on the same thing/equal or are some better than others? I've read a range of different reviews from terible, only lasted a few rides to great, easy to maintain and seen some interesting looking photos of rusty internals!

what does STW reckon?

x-Fusion HiLo?

Not the lightest, nor the cheapest but mine has been pretty reliable over the past three year of use
