Same as a Forca / Traildrop isn't it?
The Traildrop was £85 last time I looked
I bought one from Purebike.fr for £87 posted. I haven't fitted it yet due to lack of time, but it looks nice!!!

If I wanted a hydraulically operated post with the hose attached at the seat clamp, I could get a reverb for almost the same price as that KS
If you want a bulletproof, serviceable basic post, with no cable growth, and the cable coming out at a nice angle, with a (nearly) unbreakable bar lever, then the Ice Lift V8 looks a winner at £87!
Oh, and MBR seemed to agree, giving it 9/10 this month. Not everyone has £200+ for a seat post.
look good, where to buy? , the french site listed above have no stock
what podge said, identical to the forca/vario/traildrop wih a mark-up, so not so much of a bargain at £120, and getting close to the price of a discounted GD which it is 'inspired by'.

Thinking about it, the trail drop was modified after the first tun to have the cable at the front making it cheaper and better
just ordered a 27.2 from probike for £83 delivered.
should be here by monday so we'll see how good it is
£120 seems steep considering I just bought a HiLo from wiggle for £160

balls. they have the 2012 v8 version for 10 euros more.

I don't know about that, but I've just sourced one of the new Budget KS posts from one of the German stores for a friend and managed to get a 100mm KS infinitely adjustable post for 106 euros including delivery.
It's the eTen post http://kssuspension.com/products/seatposts/eten-remote/
Bike-Discount have it listed under the exaform brand.
