My '08 IH mkIII is pretty close to being "complete", last part of the equation is a dropper seatpost. Only problem is the 30.0mm seat tube diameter.. Since nobody makes a 30.0mm dropper post, looks like I'll have to go with a 27.2mm + shim to make it work.

Looking at the seat posts that are out there, which is the best/most reliable? I would like to keep it under $300 if possible:
-gravity dropper classic/turbo(sounds like the most "reliable" of the bunch, but not
-X-Fusion hilo(top of my list, but doesn't seem to be in stock anywhere)
-ks Supernatural 272 remote (Also can't find it in stock, but looks nice)
-Rase Black Mamba (outside my budget, but if it's worth it I'll consider)

Only ones I have any time on are the Crank Bro Joplin and the Specialized one... totally dug both of them, I like the controls a bit better on the Joplin tho.
stupid 30mm seat tube.. I like that the specialized post has some offset, doesn't look like any of the 27.2mm posts are offset at all..

I've been very happy with my KS i950. The Lev looks like everything that the i950 needed...reduced weight and cable actuation moved to the post and not on the head
