Surely everything in mtb is overpriced? With wheels costing over £1,000, cranksets costing over £500, headsets costing £200, £270 for a post isn't out of line with any of that.
Not that any of those things are all that much better than alternatives costing one tenth as much, but if you're obsessed you've got to have the best regardless of value - and that's the basis on which things are priced, not on how much it cost to make them.
