Yes, more or less a stubby little carbon seat post. The ISP is slotted in the rear.

Many years ago, I had a Raleigh Competition, with tubulars, Sachs Jubilee components, and a TA three arm crankset. After reading an article about custom framebuilders in Bicycling magazine, I had Jim Redcay build a road bike for me. I built it up with DA 7200 components. The first time I rode it, when I turned the pedals the bike went straight ahead, rather than the bottom bracket going sideways. That was my "WHOA" moment.

My Firefly. First time I rode it, I knew it was a bike I was going to never sell. Amazing bike.

I had been thinking about getting my first custom for few years when I saw these bi-lam lugs. I knew I had found my builder.

1978: Calif Masi Gran Criterium in coral. Frame offered to me for $250. I was a poor student and didn’t have the money, and moped for weeks.
2005: Specialized S-works Tarmac E5 carbon/aluminum composite. Wickedly fast. Every ATP I used made it go straight forward with 100% efficiency. I’ve never been on a faster bike. So much fun.
2010: Speedvagen road. Comfy, feels right and encourages diving into corners. Felt like home first time I rode it.
2012: Moots Psychlo-x. A bike very much at home on either the road or dirt. I felt I could go anywhere on it, and go fast on it. So liberating.
2013: Time VXR. So this is carbon? Yes, please!

hadn't heard of lighthouse before
here's one for not much dough

First time I swung a leg over this thing I'm pretty sure my words were "whoa, this is a nice bike!"
