Holly Molly! That's awesome (and light too). Why not a Morati seat-post? I'm pretty sure they made one (even though I like the Syncros better).
Interesting components mix: Modern Hope brakes, mid-school M952 drive-train, old school Grafton Speedtraps.

I think the search continues for a Morati seat post. Running down a 30.0mm in optimal condition is pretty difficult I would imagine though. The Syncros is a good temporary alternative I think as well.

Syncrosfan, if you help me find one I'd love to take it! 
Regarding component mix: I'll use this bike
Therefore it has to work
properly! I don't want to bother with old brakes not working well!
The mid-cage RD-M952 paired with the 12-27T Dura Ace cassette will
work so well you can't imagine! (have it on my Lobo DH)
I am thinking of buying this chain too:
The CN-7700 is around 300g if not a bit more, this one at around 230g.

"12-27T Dura Ace cassette" I guess you won't be taking it up any really steep ascents then ,...or you're super powerful and light (me I'm neither of the latter so I need at least a 12-32, preferably 11-34 for 9 speed 
)
If I ever run across a Morati seatpost I'll let you know.

Thanks!
Well regarding the cassette; you also have to consider
that my chainrings are 24/34/46 like the FC-M952 4-arm
spider Version. The 5-star FC-M952 has 26/36/48. That
would be too big for this setup.
But M900 had 28T and 32T cassettes, M950 only 30T and
32T and M952 exclusively 32T. M953 was the first 34T monster
I think the combination will be nice. If unrideable it will get
changed of course

Stramme Waden!
Otherwise you could always get an Action Tec 20T microdrive Ti-chainring (that could always help getting a better range) pending your crank set is compact 94BCD...
