Very Ugly though!
I had a i850 for test and was abysmal, and weighed a tonne
The Pure Racing KS i7 is out, feb-march next year, may be worth the wait if you want a proper drop post, not a spring clip affair like the gravity dropper.
The other option which very few people know about is from a Small spanish company called Blacx, they do a 110mm Jewel AM, in 27.2, works out quite expensive though due to the crap exchange rate, but is the "best" available at the moment at a premium though.

does anyone have a blacx post?
I thought a dropper because they'd be a good xmas/b-day prezzie because i'm never going to buy one for myself!

The Blackx is lovely isn't it... Bit weighty though? Actually heavier than a Gravity Dropper Turbo, which is going some. The extra travel's good though, 100mm's enough most of the time but sometimes you want a wee bit more.
We still do it because we're forever chasing what we've already found |

True, but the 30.9 Pure Racing post looks really lush! |
Yeah i agree, Joplin and Maverick also looked really nice.
Gonna keep my eye on how things progress, until then stick with my Carbon Post and Qr lever!

Ugly, a wee bit heavy, but on the other hand it actually works well and reliably.
