Just picked up a NOS 585 Optimum and need a carbon seat post for it.
I've never used a carbon post but I'm thinking this frame cries out for one.

So, any recommendations for a zero set-back post? What should I know about these before I rest my entire 130lbs on one?

I have found that some carbon ones are too flexy specially if you weight a lot and like to spin. The other thing I have noticed is that with some you feel no difference comparing it with an aluminum one.

I use a Thomson on my 585. It's plenty comfy, no need for carbon.
Thomson Masterpiece seatposts are lighter than most cf posts, if that floats your boat.

You are going to love your 585.
