I've got a single bolt SR seatpost with an allen-head bolt. It's not the Cinelli replacement bolt for the Cinelli wishbone saddle, because it's chromed steel and not long. And the convex washer is recessed to fit the bolt head. I have mounted it, but haven't used it yet. I haven't checked to see if it has a washer under the bolt in the recess, and I'm assuming that if it doesn't, I could have slippage.

Anyway, it looks like the the second generation post in the picture, but I was told on an earlier post that the allen-head parts were from the later C-record aero post and were substituted as they started running out parts on the soon-to-be discontinued SR posts.

Wouldn't that make my post the last generation????
