I need a seatpost that is 27.1, has a setback of about 3 cm, and is microadjustable. Black preferred, but not essential. Suggestions?

3cm is going to be tough, and I've never heard of a 27.1 post. My recommendation is to ream to 27.2 and get an old, but not too hard to find, Easton EC70 or buy a custom Ti from Bold Precision (http://www.boldprecision.com/seatposts.htm).

Edit: Easton EA50 is aluminum and EC70 has a carbon fiber shaft. Although advertised as 20-25mm setback, they both have a legit 30mm.

Typo; it's 27.2. I'm guessing on the offset; it might be 25mm. It looks like there may be some 3Ts that would work. But I'm open to other suggestions. Thanks!

If 2.5cm works for you, the Fizik Cyrano (http://www.fizik.it/components/#seatpostuk) has an adjustment wheel.

I use Ritchey WCS aluminum posts in my bikes. Very light and relatively inexpensive. 25 MM offset and 27.2 available. They make a CF post, but I see no advantage in using CF over the aluminum. Frankly....feel the same way about their WCS aluminum bars and stems.

Velo Orange is listed as 32mm setback. I've got one on my gravel bike -- works well, looks nice.
