Blackspire doesn't get much attention, but are probably best known for their chainrings.

This is the only blackspire seatpost I have ever seen and I think it is a "downwill" post because it has a pretty thick wall. In anycase, there are a lot of similarities to syncros and I picked it up probably 6-7 years ago. I think it's from the late 1990s. Another neat blackspire thing I have is a small handmade messenger bag made in Vancouver that says "in gravity we trust" or something like that.

Here are some photos of the post.

please share any knowledge and photos of blackspire.
 
iv got a new one of those, hidden away somewhere. 26.8 from memory, will eventually fit one of the cove frames i also have stashed away...
 
A friend of mine had a post, 26.8 I think. Have no idea what happened to it.

I have a set of their cranks and have not seen many around. I also have 2 or 3 chainguides, rings, and bashguards.

Please post some photos of the cranks! :xmas-cool:
 
their 5-bolt chainrings, which they still carry have a striking resemblance to what Race Face use to offer. curious if there's any connection between the two in that regards.

I just looked at their website, you can still buy the post pictured in the OP and it looks exactly the same! Maybe not as retro as I thought it was. Also they make a lot more components than I thought.
